Offer Acceptance evaluation

Offers and Intentions to Create legal relations- Difficult in understanding the difference

• Must be certain in its terms- Gunthing v Lynn

• Not a request for more info- Harvey v Facey

• Response to request for more information- Gibson ‘may’

What is meant by a reasonable time?

• Ramsgate v Montefiore hotel: An offer could be terminated if too much time has lapsed, yet this may cause confusion between parties as to how long they have, more confirmation is needed on this. Here it was 6 months

Revocation of an offer- Must be before acceptance however, the cross over with postal rule causes confusion: [Byrne v Van Tienhoven]
