Question
On the face of the ticket for a journey the words – for conditions see back are printed in small print. The passenger
A. Is bound by the conditions whether he takes care to read them or not
B. Is not bound by the conditions
C. May not take note of the conditions
D. None of the above
Answer
A
Explanation:
In contract law, when a ticket references conditions (e.g., “for conditions see back”), the passenger is generally bound by those conditions, whether they read them or not, provided the reference is clear and the conditions are reasonably accessible. This principle ensures that contractual terms are enforceable when properly incorporated. Option A is correct. Option B is incorrect, as ignorance of terms does not exempt the passenger. Option C is vague and not a legal standard. Option D is incorrect, as option A applies. The answer “A” is as provided in the attachment.
