3..Read the scenario below and answer the questions relating to it
理论部分需要加强,涉及到 offer 的到达主义和 acceptance的投递主义。要约生效条件,承诺生效条件。整个字数不够
i At what point is the potentially contractual offer made? ii. What is the effect of Mary’s letter? iii. Does Mary have a contractual right to purchase the book even though it has been offered to someone else? Why or why not?
把这三部分的问题写在各部分里
i) She receives the letter on Tuesday 10 December and immediately writes back saying she cannot afford £300 but would like to purchase the book for£250. ” So, this point is the potentially contractual offer made.
ii)In my opinion, ,Archie ask Mary to the forms for her reply, but Mary reply was a letter of reply, Archie by mail as no replies Mary,Actually mean that in refusing Mary, though they did not have to tell Mary, But Archie in action. so, Mary's the letter will make a counter offer。
iii)I think according to the second right in, Archie did not care if Mary's reply. Mary was at the appointed time to call So at this situation, the contract between them will still exist, Mary Still have a right to buy the book。So,Archie mind if Mary's reply, and must be in the way of reply, but Archie, may well think that Mary of the letter is a counter offer, , Archie with the offer is not the answer, and refuse, this situation is not the relationship between them, so speak up, Mary couldn't buy the book right off.
