EXAMINATION PAPER FOR CONTRACT LAW
1. Milo owns an art gallery and he telephoned four of his best customers, Olivia,
Richard, Steven and Teresa, who he thought might be interested in a new picture that he had. He left messages on their respective answer machines on
Monday to say that he had one picture:
“Circa 1902 Frank Bott oil painting: Loch Lomond from above Ballach, available to the first person paying £450”. He also said that it could be viewed at the gallery. Olivia received the message and telephoned Milo and offered him £350. He refused. Later on Monday she posted a letter to Milo agreeing to pay the £450.
The letter got lost in the post.
Richard was worried that the painting would be sold and he emailed Milo on
Tuesday agreeing to pay £405 (the price less the usual 10% discount he gets).
Milo did not access the email until Wednesday afternoon.
Steven picked up the message on Tuesday evening and he immediately telephoned Milo’s gallery and left a message on the answering machine stating that he would pay £450. Milo accidentally deleted all of his messages without listening to them.
Teresa decided to attend the gallery on Wednesday morning. She got there just as Milo was opening the shop and they agreed she could buy it for £450.

    Isn’t it quite amazing to find such talent in our 40th President of the United States, Ronald Wilson Reagan? Not only has he successfully had careers in acting, televising, and governing the state of California, but he has also managed to become a successful president. During his presidency he has managed to up-lift states’ rights around the nation, giving them their own choices in how to spend their grants. By consolidating grants into block grants, he was successfully capable of giving states the chance to do so. While this decision had negative effects, it was also very beneficial to some aspects of the states.…

    Then another pivotal turning point came: we realized that this case had a negative bargaining zone which is different from the ones before. So we decided to give our reservation price and also see if there was something except the cash that she can give me. So she was willing to give me $450,000 cash with a $50,000 per year job after I come back. But even my reservation price minus the money that I may need after coming back without job was $488,000 which is more than $45,000. So I ask her if she can give me some extra benefits to me or give me some other money in advance because I really need this trip. So she…

    Formation of a Contract

    • 1742 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Hubert’s initial e-mail is merely an invitation to treat, demonstrating only a willingness to negotiate rather than an intention to be bound by acceptance. The response from Philip to Hubert’s preliminary enquiry about the green van is, however, clearly an offer. There is intention to be bound by acceptance, demonstrated by the expression “when do you want it?”, combined with identification of the essential elements – the price (£30,000) and the subjects (the green van). There is an added complication in that Philip seeks to confirm the date of delivery. It could be argued that the parties are still in negotiation, requiring a further counter-offer from Hubert before putting matters in a state where simple acceptance would form a binding contract. However, all the essential elements of a contract of sale are contained in the offer, and it is suggested that acceptance would form a binding contract of sale despite lack of agreement on an item of detail .…

    We would first need to establish if there is a valid and legally binding contract formation between Iris (“the offeror”) before deciding on the likely outcomes for the parties. A proper contract constitutes an offer, an acceptance, the provision of a consideration of value and parties’ intention to legal relations. There was no depute as to the presence of a valid offer because Iris did indeed make an offer to sell the piano for a specific price and its terms i.e. keeping the offer open for Diana till noon on Saturday, were communicated to Diana. In return, Diana had also put up her consideration towards the formation of the contract by making an effort to raise the money needed to buy the aforementioned piano from Iris. Beside the elements of acceptance, which we shall discuss in the latter paragraphs, the collective actions from the both parties suggested that they were intending to form legal relations with each other.…

    There is no contract between Ada and Ben. This is because initially Ben leaves a message on Ada’s voicemail to accept the offer. However, Ben changes his mind and posts the letter to Ada on the same day, but the letter arrived before Ada checked her voicemail. Although the voicemail was sent earlier than the letter, acceptance can only be made with actual communication and notification to the offeror. Besides, according to the postal rule, the acceptance is deemed to be competed when the properly stamped and addressed letter of acceptance is posted, and not when it is delivered to the offerors’ address, or received by them, or brought to their notice, or read by them.1 This rule, laid down in Adam v. Lindsell in 1818. It explained that if the defendants were not bound by their offer when accepted by the plaintiffs till the answer was received, then the plaintiffs ought not to be bound till after they had received the notification that the defendants had received their answer and assented to it.2 In this case, the contract be only be made unless Ada checks her voicemail before the letter arrived. Therefore, Ada does not have any legal claim against Ben.…

    The issue is whether Apparat Pty Ltd can take legal action against Dali. In this case, Apparat as a retailer who sells expensive imported sports car has engaged Dali an advertisement agency to advertise his product on a TV station. The agreement agreed to be last for two years. It is said that Apparat wants to cancelled that week’s advertisement slots after knowing that the TV station was planning to run a movie based around the search for the wealthy driver who carelessly knocks down children, killed them and callously drives off which is scheduled to be run on Sunday night. However, Dali neglects to do so. In the agreement, it is stated that Apparat would have the right at any time up to 4 days prior to the broadcasting date to cancel any particular booking. Hence, Apparat should phoned Dali to cancel that week’s slot before Tuesday since the movie was planned to run on Sunday night. The word used in the case given as ‘planning to run a movie’ shows that the TV station have not yet to confirmed whether to broadcast the movie on Sunday night or not. Hence, as long as Apparat follows the rules of the agreement which is to cancelled any booking prior up to 4 days before the advertisement will be broadcast, here therefore the booking can be cancelled. However, since Dali neglects to called off the advertisement on that week, Apparat has experienced losses with the declining sales plus with his reputation as a retailer has been damaged. Thus, Dali is said to breach the contract by neglecting Apparat’s request.…

    In this case, there are 2 issues that we need to determine. Firstly, is the existence of counter offer. There is a new offer made by Bernie to reduce the initial offered price, since it is not a mere request for further information, thus it’s considered as a counter-offer. On top of that, since there is a counter-offer made by Bernie, it eventually destroys the original offer which made by Ariana. In other word, by making a counter-offer, the original offer may be considered rejected and cannot be accepted later on. The offer which made by Ariana does not have lapse of time, thus it end after a reasonable time period. Besides, the initial offer is terminated due to failure of acceptor to fulfill condition precedent to acceptance.…
