Case Study Analysis: Gibson v. Manchester City Council - Business Law

This case study analyzes the business law case of Gibson v. Manchester City Council, focusing on contract formation and related legal principles. The assignment examines the essentials of a valid contract, differentiating between an offer and an invitation to treat, particularly within the context of property transactions. It explores the factors that influence a court's determination of an invitation to treat, the conditions for contract termination and enforceability, and the potential House of Lords ruling. The report concludes that there was no contract between the parties as the city council's communication was an invitation to treat, not an offer. The case highlights the importance of offer, acceptance, consideration, and intention to create legal relations in establishing a valid contract.
