Section 70 Contract Act | Quantum Meruit Recovery Allowed for Unregistered Firm Despite Partnership Act Bar : Madras HC
Madras HC rules that an unregistered partnership firm can recover payment for goods supplied under Section 70 of the Contract Act, overriding the bar under Section 69(2) of the Partnership Act. The court dismissed the MSMED Act interest claim due to the absence of a formal contract, reinforcing the principle of quantum meruit for non-contractual supplies.
