Section 21Effect of mistakes as to law

s. 21

21. Effect of mistakes as to law A contract is not voidable because it was caused by a mistake as to any law in force in Bangladesh; but a mistake as to a law not in force in Bangladesh has the same effect as a mistake of fact. [* * *] Illustration A and B make a contract grounded on the erroneous belief that a particular debt is barred by the Bangladesh Law of Limitation: the contract is not voidable.
