Free consent of all the parties to a contract is one of the essential element of a valid contract as per requirement of section 10. The parties to a contract should have identity of minds. This is called consensus ad idem in English Law.
A contract which s valid in all other respects may still fail because there is no real consent to it by one or both of the parties.
Consent defined
Two or more person are said to consent when they agree upon the same thing in the same sense. It means that there is no contract if the parties have not agreed upon the same thing in the same sense.
Absence of a contract may arise from a number of causes, namely (1) by reason of an error as to the nature of the contract itself, (2) by reason of an error as to the identity of the party with whom all the cases, there is no contract at all because in the law of contract consensus ad idem is a condition essential to the formation of a contract.
