Question: In early 2013, Beauty property developer negotiated with Stylish over a new house in the eastern sector of Singapore. Beauty and Stylish had various meetings about the cost and finish of the house. At one of their meetings, Stylish asked Beauty whether the price of the house included curtains, blinds and window coverings. Beauty explained that all window coverings were provided for in the contract.
Several weeks later Stylish agreed to purchase the proposed house and signed a written contract. The contract however contained the following clause:
Clause 3 – The contract price of the house excludes all window coverings. The provision of curtains, blinds or other window coverings is the responsibility of the purchaser and will not be provided pursuant to this contract.
The house was completed in late 2013. Stylish was upset when after taking possession of the keys he realised that blinds, curtains and other window coverings were not provided in the new house.
Advice Stylish of his contractual rights in relation to the window coverings
Including a discussion of appropriate remedies.

This case is a valid contract because the law does not require contracts to be written in the text for it to be legal. The contract can be spoken, written, or partly oral and partly written or implied behavior. Therefore, Stylish can sue Beauty for the contract. In this case, Beauty has not complied with the contract as not equip curtains, blinds and window coverings as promised under contract with Stylish, as required in the pre-contractual statement was made by Beauty. The pre-contractual statement is part of the currency of the contract and it is made before signing the contract. Pre-contractual statement can push the other party to sign the contract. If Beauty does not make a statement before, Stylish probably will not sign a contract or will require a few changes in contract

    3. Two units are owned by a vendor who lives in one and rents out another. Assures Betty and Jim that the view could never be built out: It is possible to suggest that the one who lives in has a private sale exemption (Arguie, O’Brien) therefore, not in trade or commerce. The second one is also debatable - consider Lubidineuse – is this type of sale the type of sale the vendor regularly conducts? Is it a one-off? It is possible that the property was clearly a money making venture, that you could assess in the totality of the facts that it was likely to be found in trade or commerce. We could inquire as to the motives of selling – further develop the…

    Cyril made two contracts. The first was to have his house painted one month from the date of the written contract. The second was for his neighbor's 1957 Ford Thunderbird. Each contract was definite and clear in all respects. As to the house painting, Cyril inquired with the painter as to when the work could begin. The painter explained that he was extremely busy and was not sure if he could fulfill the contract. Cyril flew into a rage and immediately hired someone else who painted the house, but at a higher price. Cyril then sued the painter, claiming that there was an anticipatory repudiation of the contract by the painter.…

    A contract is a promise that can be enforced by law. In order for a contract to be enforceable it must have the necessary elements to form a contract. The elements of a contract are an offer and acceptance, consideration, capacity, and legality. Three days before the 90-day expiration period was up, BTT and Chou reached an oral agreement. Immediately after the oral agreement, the BTT manager sent Chou and e-mail with the subject line “Strat Deal” in which he repeated the terms of the distribution agreement. The e-mail included price, time frames, and the obligations of both parties. Even though Chou made an agreement with BTT under the exclusive negotiation agreement in which it stated there would be no distribution contract unless it was in writing, the e-mail is considered “in writing” under the mailbox rule. All the elements of a contract were met in the e-mail, offer, acceptance, consideration, capacity, and legality. Even though Chou failed to follow up with a distribution contract in writing for both parties to sign, he did receive the terms in writing from the BTT manager. This validates that there was an actual contract between both…

    Question 1 Base on the case presented in this question, there is a valid promise between Tina and Yatie. According to Section 2a of Contract Act, when one person signifies to another his willingness to do or abstain from doing anything, with a view to obtain assent of the other to such act or abstinence, he is said to make a proposal. Apparently in the case that Yatie had made an offer or proposal to her business partner, Tina to supply handcrafts by sending an offer letter to Tina. Tina had received the offer letter in the next day and she had accepted the offer by asking her staff, Anis to fax a letter of acceptance as soon as possible to Yatie. According to Section 2b of Contract Act, a proposal when accepted becomes a promise. Therefore, when Tina had accepted the offer made by Yatie, a promise or agreement had begun between them. According to Section 2c of Contract Act, it says that a person making the proposal is called the promisor (offeror) and the person accepting the proposal is called the promisee (offeree). Thus, in the case above, the promisor or offeror was Yatie and the promisee or offeree was Tina. However, there is no appropriate communication of acceptance between Yatie and Tina as the general rule states that acceptance of a proposal must be communicated to the proposer in the prescribed manner. The offer letter was clearly stated that a written acceptance has to be given. If the acceptance made does not follow as per letter of offer, the proposer is entitled to insist on it, where Yatie had actually insisted to Tina that the acceptance to be made in writing. If Tina’s staff fails to follow the prescribed manner of acceptance, then there will not be a binding contract between them. However, Yatie had accepted the offer earlier from Tina verbally, before Anis made the call to confirm on the acceptance. The promise between the business partners is valid. The general rule for acceptance states that acceptance is effective or complete only when it is…
