Ltd got registeredon pen and paper. Legal provisions which attract this case study:As Sunshine scooters Art Pvt.

Bob was not even the director of thecompany when he signed such contract with Computer Supplies Pvt. Ltd. Thecompany Sunshine Scooters Art Pvt. Ltd itself got registered on 10th of August whereasBob being a director of the company entered into a contract by purchasing computerson 4th of August which in itself is void because non existence of subject-matter.Though the time of delivery of the said computers were 1st September it cannot be avalid contract because the date when the agreement between SSA and CSP was signedto become a contract was way before SSA was even a registered company under ASIC(Australian Securities and Investment Commisson).

He was silent about thefact that SSA was not a company yet when he went into a contract with CSP on SSA’sbehalf just because he was anxious and ready to start things prior for the business.
