A stranger to a contract cannot sue both under English and Indian law for want of privity of contract. Accordingly, a person who is not a party to a contract cannot sue upon it even though the contract is for his benefit. In the given situation: D supplied tyres to wholesaler X with a condition that X's retailers (like F) would not sell below D's price list. X supplied tyres to F with this condition. F sold the tyres below D's price list. Legality of the case if D claims damages from F: There was a contract between D and X, and a separate contract between X and F. D was not a party to the contract between X and F. D cannot claim damages from F because only a party to the contract can claim it. D had not given any consideration to F, and therefore there was no binding contract between D and F. D was not listed as an agent within the contract between X and F and therefore could not be included as a valid third party who had rights to claim on the contract. Conclusion: D will not be able to claim damages from F in the given circumstances due to the doctrine of privity of contract.
