Question:
If a person to the transfer gets two selections (a benefit and a burden), then he has to accept both the benefit and the burden or none. He cannot accept the benefit and reject the burden in a single transaction. Which of the following doctrine is being referred to here?
Options:
Doctrine of Restitution
Doctrine of Election
Doctrine of Lis Pendens
Doctrine of proportionality
Correct Answer:
Doctrine of Election
Explanation:
According to the principle of Doctrine of Election (Section 35 of the TPA), a party to the transfer cannot accept as well as reject in a single transaction. In other words, while claiming advantage of an instrument, the burden of the instrument should also be accepted. If a person to the transfer gets two selections (a benefit and a burden), then he has to accept both the benefit and the burden or none. He cannot accept the benefit and reject the burden in a single transaction.
