Introduction The term of remoteness refers to legal test of causation that is used to determining the types of loss caused by a breach of contract or duty which may be compensated by a damages award. In another word, remoteness is a set of rules in both tort and contract, which limits the amount of compensatory damages for a wrong. We can refer to the case of Hadley v. Baxendale where Baron Sir Edward Hall Alderson had declined in allowing Hadley to recover his lost profits in this case, holding that Baxendale could only be held liable for losses that were generally foreseeable, or if Hadley had mentioned his special circumstances in advance.

First, mistake of law; after a person enters into a contract and he or she don’t have information of the law in the state or place where agreement make, and this agreement is affected by mistakes but it is not void. So that leads us to know that ignorance of law is not an justification. if a party is induced to enter into a contract by the’ mistake of law’ so a contract is not valid.

In the case of Patel v Ali , it was evident that equity exercises discretion, nonetheless this can be questionable. The differentiation between common law and equity is shown clearly in this case within the remedy that was offered, as mentioned before equitable remedy is discretionary whereas common law does not. The common law remedy proposed to Patel was to pay damages; due to the dilemma she was in had created unfairness, so using equitable remedies (specific performance) would have failed. “A trust is an equitable obligation binding a person (trustee) to deal with property over which he has control for the benefit of persons (beneficiary)…” .
First we need to know as what arbitration means, provisions of the year 1996 portrays that it is a procedural law. “It is a procedure in which a dispute is submitted by agreement of the parties, to one or more arbitrators who make a binding decision on the parties of dispute. In choosing arbitration the parties opt for a private dispute resolution procedure instead of going to a court.” There are two important things necessary for Arbitration- Consent and Agreement: If there is an agreement, only then the court can intervene. Consent merely means parties agreeing with the terms and conditions of the Contract. Award is binding on both the parties.

To establish misrepresentation under the act one need to keep in mind following limitations.
The formation of a contract is often preceded by a series of negotiations between the parties. Some of the statements made may later turn out to be false. Weitzenböck (2012) defined in English contract law, misrepresentation are a false statement of fact that made by one party to another party, which was intended and did induce latter to enter into the contract. If it happens to be the untrue statement, thus the party who has been misrepresented may claim damages for breach of contract or as for misrepresentation, the remedy of a recession may be available to the innocent party. On the subject of Thurston Binns circumstances, it indicated that Thurston could argue that Peter had misrepresented to him the actual contract formed.
