Negligence Law - Answer 2

Issue

Whether there was a contract between Andrew and Tiffany?

Rule

Corporation Act 2001

Agreement

Offer

Acceptance

Application

An agreement has two parts an offer and acceptance according to case of Sughes, there is no particular form to constitute any offer. An offer is a type of communication that amounts to promise to do or not to do something. Carllil v. Carbolic Smoke Ball Co., the court held that the test is one of the intent and did the party making the intend statement that can affirmative response would give rise to an agreement or simple result in further negotiation. A contract can be terminated prior to acceptance of the contract therefore in this matter acceptance was done, according to the factual circumstance the acceptance and making of an offer was conducted and it was proven as a valid contract.

As per the postal rule of contract law as created in the case of Adam v. Lindsell, 1818, as per this case law an offer is said to be accepted and a contract is formed the instance when the acceptance letter is put in the transition that is out of the hand of the acceptor, another case law dealing with the same issue Henthorn v. Fraser 1892, the postal rule specifies that a contract is formed when the letter of acceptance is communicated and send into transition irrespective to the fact as the letter was accepted by the party. There was a good consideration between the paries in exchange of promise made by Andrew. Therefore according to the case of Stilk v. Myrick 1809 2 Camp 317, there was a contractual obligation upon Andrew toward Tiffany.

Conclusion

Therefore it can be concluded that there is a contractual obligation upon Andrew as an offer is also a promise made in the present case, 7 days were given for acceptance of the offer.
