ABSTRACT

The concept of privity of contract has been a longstanding and evolving principle in contract law, governing the rights and obligations of parties to a contract. A legally enforceable agreement between two private parties who have freely offered something to each other is the classic understanding of a contract. However, contracts frequently entail third parties in one form or another. The doctrine of privity of contract, which is part of the British common law system, deals with third parties' connections with contracts in which they are not parties. In simple terms, the doctrine of privities states that only the parties to a contract can impose obligations or confer rights. In light of this, This research project delves into the historical development, current application, and practical implications of the privity of contract in modern legal contexts. It also analyses the traditional doctrine of privity, explores its exceptions and reforms in various jurisdictions, and assesses its relevance in contemporary contract law. By examining landmark cases and scholarly perspectives, this research seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of privity's role in contractual relationships and its impact on third parties.
