Answer:

Privity of contract provides a relation between the parties to contract and restricts third party from entering.

Step-by-step explanation:

This statement is False as a contract is no more private if it is disclosed to any other third party. As legal rights and obligations are imposed between parties, agent is not beneficial from contract. This doctrine of privity of contract prevents any third party from entering and enforcing some other person's rights in contract.
