Verified by Toppr

It is only the promisee who can demand performance of the promise under a contract, for, the general rule is that "a person cannot acquire rights under a contract to which he is not a party". A third party cannot demand performance of the contract even if it was made for his benefit. In case of the death of the promisee, his legal representatives are entitled to enforce the performance of the contract against the promisor.
