By the virtue of the said bid, a Certificate of Sale of the subject properties was issued.

    Proposal is defined under section 2(a) of the Indian contract Act, 1872 as "when one person signifies to another his willingness to do or to abstain from doing anything with a view to obtain the assent of that other to such act or abstinence, he is said to make a proposal/offer". Thus, for a valid offer, the party making it must express his willingness to do or not to do something. But mere expression of willingness does not constitute an offer. The rules regarding the offer are The offer must show an obvious intention on the part of the offeror. For example "if "A" jokingly offers "B" his scooter for Rs.10/- and "B" knowingly that "A" is not serious, says "I accept "A"s proposal". This does not constitute an offer. Secondly, the terms of offer must be definite, unambiguous, not loose and vague. For example "A" says to "B". "I will sell you a car" "A" owns three different cars. The offer is not definite. Third thing regarding offer is, mere declaration of intention and announcement is not an offer. A declaration by a person that he intends to do something, gives no right of action to another. Such a declaration only means that an offer will be made or invited in future and not an offer is made now. An advertisement for a concern for auction sale does not amount to an offer to hold such concern for auction sale. For example an auctioneer advertised in a news paper that a sale of office furniture would be held. A broker came from a distant place to attend the auction, but all the furniture was withdrawn. The broker thereupon sued the auctioner for his loss of time and expenses. It was held that, a declaration of intention to do something did not create a binding contract with those acted upon it and hence the broker could not recover damages. An offer should be made to obtain the assent of the other. The offer should be communicated to the offeree. Unless an offer is communicated to the offeree by the offerror or his duly agent, there can be no acceptance.…

    An offer has been made by Michael to sell his 2008 BMW car for the price of $19,500.00 to Matt. Whether or not there has been a valid contract between the offeree and the offeree is still in question. The first issue is whether Matt’s reply was a counter offer or a request for further information on whether or not Michael would change the upholstery in the car before sale. If it was a counter offer, as was held in Hyde Vs Wrench (1840) 3 BEAV 3341, this would have amounted to a negation of the previous offer to the new offer of $20,500. Therefore there would not have been a contract between Michael and Matt. If it was a request for further information, as in Stevenson, Jaques & co v McLean (1880) 5 QBD 3462, the offer could have still been opened and accepted by Matt. In my opinion Matt asked Michael whether or not if he would be prepared to change the upholstery and nowhere in the case study does it state that Matt made a counter offer on the BMW by the language he used and in fact Michael was the one who made the counter offer and presumed that Matt would accept it.…

    b) Aiman placed the following advertisement in Motor Trader magazine: “For sale- 1965 Mini Austin in good condition. A bargain at RM12,000”. Tom, who was interested in vintage cars, wrote a letter to Aiman on Monday offering to buy the car for RM10,000. Aiman wrote back saying, “ I’m afraid I cannot accept anything less than RM12,000. Let me know by Friday evening if you still wish to buy the car”. On receipt of the letter, Tom wrote back immediately saying :”RM12,000 seems a bit pricey, but I’ve always wanted to own a Mini Austin, so consider it a deal. I am a bit short of money this month. Would you be willing to accept RM6,000 immediately and the rest next month? If I hear no more from you I shall take it that we’ve got a deal and I will collect the car on Friday”.
