- What is the main difference between contracts discharged due to operation of law and contracts discharged due to acts of the parties?

Discharge due to acts of the parties is legally binding, whereas discharge due to operation of law is not. Discharge due to operation of law doesn't necessarily reflect either party's intent, whereas discharge due to acts of the parties reflects at least one party's intent. 11 XIR Submit > 17arrow_forwardWhat is the effect of an agreement which is tainted with fraud?.arrow_forwardIs there provision for payment of interest on delayed gratuity and what penalties exist for non-compliance with the Gratuity Act?arrow_forward
