The relationship between parents and child

Question 1
Issue
Whether a contract existed between Greta and Sam?
Rules
 For every valid contract, certain elements are
needed to exist. These elements are also known as
the essentials of the contract.
 The very first essential is an offer, which is a
proposal from one party to another.

Rules
 Another element is is acceptance. The first rule
states that acceptance must be appropriately
communicated to the offeror.
 Further, the acceptance is required to be given for
similar terms as proposed under an offer.
 Where offeree responds to an offer by creating
another offer on different terms, such
communication is known as a counteroffer.

Rules
 As given in the case of Chappell v Nestle [1960] AC
87, the adequacy of the consideration does not take
any matter as its sufficiency does (Burrows, 2018).
 A further intention of the parties is another essential
of a valid contract according to which all the parties
of the contract must intend to bind each other legally.

Application
 In the case given hereby, Greta made
communication in the form of an advertisement
where she presented her will to sell the car.
 This communication cannot be considered as a
valid offer as the same did not contain a certain
value of consideration and the terms of the offer in
the context of sale price were unclear.
