Consent to assignment refers to allowing a party of a contract to assign a contract and move the obligations to another party. The party of the existing contract, known as the assignor, will pass on the contract to another party, known as the assignee.
As per Section 10 and Section 25 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, consideration is essential in a valid contract. In simple words, no consideration no contract. Hence, you can enforce a contract only if there is a consideration.
The assignor must agree to assign their rights and duties under the contract to the assignee. The assignee must agree to accept, or "assume," those contractual rights and duties. The other party to the initial contract must consent to the transfer of rights and obligations to the assignee.
An assignment must be clear and unequivocal; There must be clear evidence of the intent to transfer rights; An assignment must describe the subject matter of the assignment; Notice to the obligor.
Also called an assignment and assumption. An agreement in which one party transfers its contractual rights and obligations to another party.
But note that an assignment is invalid if it would materially alter the other party's duties and responsibilities. Once an assignment is effective, the assignee stands in the shoes of the assignor and assumes all of assignor's rights.
The assignor must receive consideration for the agreement, otherwise the assignment will be ineffective. However, an absolute assignment does not require consideration to be given.
