Jennings Offer To Sell The 1955 Thunderbird To Wheeler
In the case of Jennings’ offer to sell the 1955 Thunderbird to Wheeler, Jennings is in breach of contract. The offer Jennings provided to Wheeler was an irrevocable offer known as a firm offer. Firm offers, identified in UCC 2-205, must satisfy three requisites. First, a signed writing must assure that the offer will be held open for a specific period of time. Second, the offeror must be a merchant, a businessperson dealing in goods. Third, the transaction must involve the sale of goods. This situation satisfies all three requirements to be classified as a firm offer; therefore, the offer is irrevocable until the specified time period has lapsed. Since Wheeler tendered payment to Jennings prior to the offer end date, Wheeler will be able to

    To begin with this offer is an invitation to treat as it’s advertised in a newspaper and it’s open to everyone to make an offer. As Bob has refused to pay for the car he does not have to pay or risk any legal actions for being in breach of contract if he refuses to pay. Bob does not have to pay for the car as a contract has never taken place and none of the three requirements took place.Jamal rejected Bob`s first offer.…

    In this case study, we are looking into what constitutes a contract and when a person is obligated to honor a contract. In this scenario Carrie offered to sell a set of legal encyclopedias to Antonio for $300.00. Antonio said that he would think about her offer and let her know his decision the next day. Norvel, who had overheard the conversation between Carrie and Antonio, said to Carrie, "I accept your offer," and Carrie gave Norvel the books. The next day, Antonio, who had no idea that Carrie had already sold the books to Norvel, told Carrie that he accepted her offer. We need to determine whether or not Carrie is obligated to sell her encyclopedias to Norvel and whether or not she is breaching a contract with Antonio.…

    The Cleavers receive the Nelsons’ proposal from October 5th and respond via email asking a question regarding the offer for $525,000 with a 15% down payment ($78,500) due upon acceptance of the Nelsons’ proposal. The Cleavers ask the Nelsons how firm they are on the 15% ($78,500) down payment and ask the Nelsons if they would be willing to lower it down to 10% ($52,500). What the Cleavers’ email legally does is put two offers between the parties. An inquiry and alternate offer does not get rid of the original offer, but places an alternate offer alongside of the original one. In other words, the Cleavers are not rejecting the Nelsons’ offer but are rather proposing a new offer without rejecting the last one. This effectively puts two offers between the Nelsons and the Cleavers. Now the Nelsons can choose to accept either one of these offers which would clearly make the remaining offer void. The Nelsons receive the email the same day it was sent and respond by mailing a letter to the Cleavers revoking the offer they made in the October 5th letter for $525,000 with a 15% down payment ($78,500) due upon acceptance…

    Lucy v. Zehmer joke and intoxication was not enough to get Zehmer out of a contract that Lucy took seriously. Offer Acceptance Offer creates a power of acceptance in the offeree so that she can bring the contract into existence. A counter offer will terminate/reject the original offer and create a new offer RS24 An offer is a manifestation of willingness to enter into a bargain, so made as to justify another person in understanding that his assent to that bargain is invited and will conclude it. Offer must convey a reasonable understanding that the offeror intends a contract and not merely a proposal to contract RS 40 face to face conversation when an offer is made the acceptances must occur before the close of the conversation and no contract is made unless there is an indication that the offer is intended to continue beyond the immediate circumstances When an offer terminates RS36 Silence/inaction cannot constitute acceptance Cannot reject and then accept that would be a counteroffer of sorts A counteroffer terminates an offer Offerors death or mental disability before acceptance terminates offer Offeror can revoke at any time before acceptance, unless there is an option to keep the offer open (notice required) Indirect revocation if the offeree finds out from 3rd party that the offer has been revoked (Dickenson v.
