MD of Pvt Ltd Co sent email to an Individual Consultant containing
terms of engagement for consulting services. Consultant gave
acceptance to this email and started working on company assignment.
Consultant insisted MD to provide signed copy of contract. MD replied
saying no need for hard copy as digital mail is sufficient.
After offering services for one month co is not making payment to
consultant and denying to adhere terms of engagement. As per terms of
engagement on termination consultant is entitled to one time payment
against contract. Is this valid contract that can be challenged in
court of law. Under what law can this be challenged and is this part
of cyberlaw? What action can consultant take against company and under
what section to recover payment as mentioned in terms of engagement
letter?
