The postal rule is a part of contract law which describe the terms of contract for the
acceptance of an offer has communicated through any posting rules like email or phone or letter
for establish a legally binding contract between the two parties. Another term under the posting
rule is when an offer has been given by host or letters it will not effective until another person

contract effective from that moment. When the contract want to be repeat revocation therefore it
is should be received by the party for making the offer before they send a post the letter of
acceptance.
In the case of Tallerman & Co Pty Ltd v Nathan's Merchandise (1957) the court has
found the rule of posting rules of the contract but it is not completed until the offers should be
accepted by the party through the communication of a letter or email. Therefore a contract is not
formed until and unless the posting of a letter of acceptance cannot able to justified by the offer
when it could be contemplated and intended to application of such acts (McKendrick, 2014).
