ESTABLISHING A CONTRACT
1. Has an offer been made?
How do you establish whether an offer has been made?
What distinguishes an offer from something that is mere puff; invitation to
treat; supplying information; mere negotiations; policy implementation; a
conditional gift or promise?
See Carlill v Carbolic (pg 1); Gibson v Manchester CC (pg 1); Mobil v Wellcome
(pg 2); Pharmaceutical Society v Boots (pg 2); MacRobertson Miller Airlines
(pg 3); Woollen Mills v Cth (pg 3)
At time of purported acceptance, was the offer still open to be accepted or:
Had the offer been revoked? What if the offeror has stipulated the offer will
be open for a period of time? Unilateral contracts?
What amounts to effective revocation?
See Goldsbrough Mort (pg 4); Dickinson v Dodds (pg 4); Mobil v Wellcome (pg
2)
Had the offer been rejected by the offeree? Counter offer?
See Hyde v Wrench (pg 4); Brambles v BCC (pg 5); Stevenson Jacques v
McLean (pg 5)
Had the offer lapsed?
Has the offer been accepted?
Nexus is the offeree responding to the offer? See R v Clarke (pg 6);
Woollen Mills pg 3; Port Jackson Stevedoring NY Star pg 6
Communication what amounts to acceptance? See Empirnall (pg 7);
Felthouse v Bindley (pg 7); Brambles v BCC (pg 5)
Are there exceptions to the communication rule? See Carlill v Carbolic
(pg 1); Henthorn v Fraser (pg 7); Brinkibon v Stahag Stahl (pg 7);
Electronic Transactions Act (pg 8)
Correspondence what if the offeree wants to depart from or vary
the terms? See Hyde v Wrench (pg 4); Butler Machine (pg 8);
Brambles (pg 5)
What alternative to the offer/acceptance approach exists to assist in
determining if the parties have reached agreement? When is the alternative
approach useful?
See Gibson v MCC (Denning) (pg 1); Butler Machine Tool (Denning) (pg 8);
Brambles v BCC (Heydon JA) (pg 5)
