Contract Law and Negligence Law: Case Analysis

Assignment
Part A

Issue
• Whether there exists a valid contract
amid George and Anita?
• Whether George can sue Anita for
breach of contract?

Relevant Law
• Every contract can be made by two parties, offeror and offeree.
• There must be an offer. An offer is the act or omission which is conveyed
by an offeror with the hope of confirmation. The offer must reach the
offeree.
• When the offeree gave her consent to the offer term then it is an
acceptance in law. The acceptance so made must reach the offeror to
make it binding.
• The promises are made with legal intent.
• At times when there is family relationship, then, it is assumed that the
parties do not wish to abide by the contract legally. When there is
commercial relationship then, the parties are legally intent to abide by
the terms of the contract.
• But, these general presumptions are rebuttable.
• In
Masters v Cameron (1954), whether the parties wish to abide by the
contract legally must be judged by the acts and circumsttbces of the
situation.
