Essay on Contracts
Contracts A contract is formed between two or more parties. In order for a contract to be legally
binding there must be offer and acceptance. This simple basis for a contract is not as clear cut as
it first appears. In certain circumstances it is often necessary for the two parties to the contract to
communicate via post or by other indirect means. This practise gives rise to the problem of whether
an acceptance is given when it is posted or when it is received....show more content...
telephone or face to face). The postal rule is in place to deal with a problem caused by the
circumstance of postal or 'long distance' contractual agreements. The case of Entores Ltd v Miles
Far East Corporation[2] is an important case when considering the postal rule and its application.
The dictum of Denning L.J suggests two important facts; firstly, a contract made by post is
complete as soon as the letter of acceptance is put in the post box. Secondly, the communication of
acceptance by means which are "virtually instantaneous" is distinguishable and must "stand on a
different footing"[3]. Several examples of circumstances are given by Lord Justice Denning in his
ruling. He gives the telex example in which it is clear that if the acceptance is not communicated
due to intervening circumstances then it is the duty of the party accepting the offer to ensure that
there is acceptance is properly received. Only if A believes his acceptance has been received and
it has not, due to a problem at the offeror's end is the offeror bound. It is his own fault and he will
be estopped from claiming he did not receive the message. One important point to consider when
discussing email communication is the fact that it is often the case that emails are not received
instantaneously. It can sometimes be the case that a message sent via email can take hours and

Essay about A Contract
A Contract Beatson, in Anson's Law of contract, defines a contract as 'A legally binding agreement
made between two or more persons, by which rights are acquired by one or more to acts or
forbearances on the part of the other or others.'[1] In simpler terms a contract is an agreement made
between two or more parties who intend that the agreement will be legally binding. The essential
elements of a contract are, offer, acceptance, intention to create legal relations, capacity, form and
legality.
For a contract to be valid there must be an agreement and an offer between the two parties

Julia reply's that the item is not a sale item and she refuses to sell the item to roger for ВЈ25.
The sign displayed was an 'invitation to treat', were Lord Parker stated:
'It is clear according to the ordinary law of contract that the display of an article with a price on it
in a shop window is merely an invitation to treat. It is in no sense an offer for sale, the acceptance of
which constitutes a contract.'[2]
In the above case for a contract to take place there must be an offer and an acceptance. It is clear
that Electrical World was not making the offer, where customers have been invited to make offers,
an invitation to treat. It is obvious that the sign Roger saw, which stated 'last few sale items all ВЈ25
or less' was an invitation to treat. It is clear in the case that Roger was making the offer by taking the
item to the counter, with an intention to pay ВЈ25, so Roger made an offer as he took the item to
the counter, so Roger is the offeree. And the sale assistance Julia is the offeror on behalf of
Electrical World.
Julia made a counter offer[3] by destroying Rogers offer. Julia destroyed the offer when she
requested ВЈ75, and Roger refused to pay. This rejection was in the response of a different price,
instead of the price that Roger

Contract Law
Issue "The mere existence of the core elements of offer, acceptance, and consideration will not
guarantee a legally enforceable contract". Discuss. A contract is an agreement which normally
consists of an 'offer ' and an 'acceptance ' and involves the 'meeting of the minds ' or consensus
between two or more parties with the intention to create a legally enforceable binding contract.
Therefore in this essay, the four core elements needed for the formation of a contract such as offer,
acceptance, and consideration and intention to create legal relations will be discussed briefly. Offer
An offer is a proposal whereby the parties are willing to contract on a specific set of terms, made by
the offeror with the intention that, if the...show more content...
The case regarding the nature of such consideration is Chappell v Nestle which expressed the
view that a 'peppercorn ' could constitute valuable consideration if stipulated by the promisor, even
if the promisor was not fond of peppers and would discard the corn. Past consideration is not good
consideration as consideration must come into existence either with or after the promise. Where
the stipulated consideration predates the promise, it will not be considered good consideration.
Therefore in, Roscola v Thomas [1842], the promise was not binding because the only
"consideration" provided for a promise about the soundness of a horse was entering into the
original contract which had occurred before the promise was made. 'Existing Public Duty' is one
situation where no consideration occurs when the promisee is already under a public duty to
perform an act and the same act is purported consideration. In Glassbrook Bros Ltd v. Glamorgan
County Council [1925], the police were providing protection over and above what is considered
legally effective and therefore due to the sufficient consideration the mine owners should honour
their promise of payments. The next situation for insufficient consideration where there is no
detriment would be 'Repeating an existing duty owed to the promisor'. In Stilk v Myrick [1809], the
remaining crew of sailors did what they were contractually required to do and therefore there was no
consideration for the

Contracts
A contract is an agreement that is enforceable by law. Modern business could not exist without such
contracts. Most business transactions involve commitments to furnish goods, services, or real
property; these commitments are usually in the form of contracts.
Use of the contract in business affairs ensures, to some extent, the performance of an agreement, for
a party that breaks a contract may be sued in court for the damages caused by the breach.
Sometimes, however, a party that breaks a contract may be persuaded to make an out–of–court
settlement, thus saving the expense of legal proceedings.
A contract arises when an offer to make a contract is accepted. An offer contains a promise (for
example, "I will pay...show more content...
Although each party must extend consideration to the other in order to form a contract, the value of
the consideration need not be equal. Determining how good a bargain is becomes the responsibility
of the parties involved. Otherwise, the courts would be in the impossible position of having to
appraise the relative value of millions of promises made every year.
Competence
For a contract to be enforceable it must be between competent parties. A contract with a person who
has been adjudicated insane is likely to be declared void. A contract involving a minor––in most
states of the United States a minor is now a person under 18––may be enforced or voided by the
minor, unless the contract is for necessities such as food, lodging, or medical services, in which
case he or she may be held responsible for the reasonable value of what was purchased. Persons
suffering from a disability such as intoxication from drugs or liquor, or insane persons not
adjudicated insane, usually may void a contract if the other party knows or should have known of
the disability and if the consideration received is returnable.
Legality
The last requirement of a valid contract is that its provisions be legal. If a purported contract
requires an illegal act, the result is a void contract.
Parties to an illegal contract have no standing in court. If one party receives money or property
under an illegal contract, the other may not sue to recover what was paid under the contract. Not

This time line would judge as what a reasonable time frame for carrying out a job would be. This
would be judged on a job by job basis and things like the detail, materials, ease of access and size
of the work would all need to be taken into account. The contractor was seen to be progressing the
job at a reasonable rate in respect to his resources (eg. size of the company) throughout the
construction process, failure to do so would be consider to be a substantial breach of contract. e) in

Essay about Contract Law
Contract Law A contract, by definition, is an agreement by two or more parties, which is intended to
be legally binding and supported by consideration. All contracts must have these three elements
present for it to qualify as a proper contract in the eyes of the law: offer and acceptance,
consideration, and intent to create legal relations. First, we will examine the first part of what
constitutes a contract, the offer and acceptance. An offer is a statement said from the offeror to the
offeree stating that he would like to formulate a contract between the two parties. The offer must
include something specific, and which has value, either monetary or otherwise between the parties.
An offer must...show more content...
An agreement is not enforceable unless the parties intended it to be legally binding. For contracts
to be binding, they must adhere to this rule. This is because contracts are very serious business,
and one must not go into them fool heartedly. There are however presumptions regarding this
element. First, it is understood that domestic agreements cannot have intent to create legal
relations, unless expressively said. Families are an institution and they must be kept sacred and
not be bothered with the legalities of court proceedings. There are however some exceptions to
this rule. For instance, the case of Merritt vs. Merritt shows that there could be intention if both
parties expressively showed it. Since the husband signed the paper that contained the terms of the
contract, this was deemed to be legal, and thus a contract between the two was formed. This was
done when the husband signed the paper promising what he had said. It is also understood that in a
commercial agreement, the intent is automatic. This is evident in the case of Carlill vs. Carbolic
Smoke Ball Co. In an advertisement, Carbolic Smoke Ball Co. stated that if anyone caught the
common cold after buy and using the smoke balls as directed, they would give 100 Г‚ВЈ. The
company then deposited 1,000 Г‚ВЈ in a bank to show their seriousness. Carlill used the product and
was not cured, then sued the company. The company's

An agreement a pond the Social Contract
Lets began this essay with a little review from what we learned from Philosophy. The Social
Contract is an model agreement upon members in a certain society which they live by. For an
example is laws. If we didn't have any laws, the world would be all chaos. So we all "sign" a social
contract that we will obey the law. Ones who do not obey the law will get punished by the
government weather it's a warning or jail time, you will get punished.
Now that we understand the social contract a little better, lets get into what I think and believe. As
a young girl, I was told to follow the rules by my father, who owns his own contraction company,
and a mother, who has a career for working for the government (which I cannot get into detail).
Growing up they always said "Don't trust anybody" and I thought to myself, how could this be
possible when I live in a society with doctors, nurses, firemen, and policemen that want to help
me? As I got older I started to understand. Not everybody wants to be your friend. Times like this it
is tough trying to be an educated black woman when people are trying to bring you down because

while they are in term. For an example, Donald Trump will soon be the President Of the United
States in January. Every since he one the election, there has been a lot of riots by angry people
