Rule of Communication in Law of Contract: Revisiting Postal Rule under Modern Tools of Communication

Abstract

The postal rule, which was established in the 19th century, is still relevant in today's digital age, but its applicability has been called into question with the advent of modern forms of communication, such as email, text messaging, and instant messaging. This paper aims to address the issues related to application of rules of communication provided by Law of Contract. The issue regarding different jurisdictions handling the application of the postal rule in the context of electronic communication is also important to understand. It's important for parties involved in contract formation to be aware of the specific laws and regulations that apply to their situation and how they affect the formation and enforceability of contracts.
