It concludes that a contract was formed between Chris and Annabelle at $500,000. The study further discusses essential contractual elements such as consideration and intention to create legal relations (ICLR), establishing their presence in the agreement. It also differentiates between contractual terms and representations, referencing Routledge v Mckay and Oscar Chess v Williams. Finally, it explores remedies for breach of contract, including damages, specific performance, injunctions, and rescission, referencing Addis v Gramophone and Poussard v Spiers.
