INTRODUCTIONContract and negligence law is part of civil legislation. This law is developed to promotefairness in action of parties in situation of both presence and absence of contractual relationship.For this purpose, standard guidelines had been described in English law which are required to becomplied by all individuals. Present project report is focused on description of these guidelinesin order to provide appropriate recommendations in given case scenarios. TASK 11.1 Importance of essential elements of the contractContract is an enforceable agreement in which two parties are legal obliged to fulfill thepromises made by them. A contract is said to be valid if it is supported by following elements-1.Offer- An offer is a proposal given by one party to specific person or to general public toenter into legal relationship. Offer given by party should be specific and legally valid. Invitation to treat will not be considered as offer because it is merely an invitegiven by party to show their interest in formation of legal relationship (Edwards,Edwards and Wells, 2008). In addition to this response of invitation is an offer inwhich primary party is free to accept or reject it. In the given case situation Billhad given invitation to treat to the general public for the sell of printing press. Offer is important because it describes initial terms of the contract. Due to this aspect,offer is required to be specific and certain. In addition to this, it must not include terms forcompletion of impossible or unethical task. 2.Acceptance- It can be termed as consent given by the offeree on the offer made byofferor. It should not be supported by any modification else it will have legal status ascounter offer. Only offeree is entitled to provide acceptance. Acceptance is important forcontractual relationship because it creates agreement between parties. Further, withoutacceptance of party agreement cannot be formed. 3.Consideration- Agreement should be formed in against of some beneficial value. Thisvalue is not required to be at arm length price but it must be supported by mutual consent(Warren, 2012). Consideration is vital in contractual relationship as it creates mutualbenefit for both the parties. Furthermore, promise without consideration is null and void. 3
