Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 25(1) allows a written and registered agreement made on account of natural love and affection between near relations to operate without consideration. Illustration(b) gives a father’s written registered promise to his son as a contract.

Option feedback

Option A

Writing, registration, natural love and affection, and near relationship satisfy the exception.

The exception prevents want of consideration alone from invalidating it.

Option C

The facts already state a formalised promise.

Option D

Near relationship is a condition of the exception, not this ground of voidness.
