4BUSINESS LAW
Answer 1
Issue
Whether Brenda can bring legal action against Steven for breach of contract and if she is entitled
to any remedies
Legal rules
A contract must include a valid offer, acceptance to become enforceable in the court of
law. The person who makes the offer is called the offeror and the person to whom the offer is
made is known as the offeree.
An acceptance is made when it is communicated to the offeror to render the offer as
valid. The acceptance must be communicated in the manner prescribed by the offeror in the
offer.
If the mode of communication of acceptance has been prescribed, the acceptance must be
communicated accordingly as was held in Holwell Securities Ltd v Hughes [1974]. The method
of communicating acceptance must be made in clear words as was ruled in Yates Building Co v
RJ Pulleyn & Son (York) Ltd [1975].
Application
In this case, a contract was formed between Brenda and Steven regarding supply of
fabric. However, Steven mentioned in his offer that acceptance must be communicated by means
of return express courier.
