TASK
Case study: This case is based upon running construction business and Avril provides
services in relation to making advertisement within local print and online media. In the case
Beldin contacts Avril over building shed and providing relation over drawing planned shed for
business purpose. In response to this Avirl gives returning price of quotes which costs around
seven fifty euros in writing that makes stipulation over offer remaining open up to time period of
seven days. Also Belinds email Avril within the provided time period which has not been
accepted with quotation. Belinda within couple of days emailed back upon showing acceptance
over quotation. Avril emails back with price range of nine hundred euros(Fort, 2020).
State about contract and conditions over forming it
Contract laws makes formation regarding agreement formed within two or more than two
parties. The agreements that has been formed leads over making contract created in relation to
legislation of contract. Also in these laws an agreement is been formed based upon promise
taking place between two parties. Promise can be based over anything that has been abstained
form been performed by the laws that is used within it. Promise can be made over any kind of
legal aspects which is based over business law or ethics. These laws makes parties created over
making promise in relation over case that is legally applicable and if parties fails to perform
promise then claim is made by parties. Further such laws answer to various questions that is

based upon contract formation. In this injured party is required over ave-haling compensation
upon claims executed or action taken regarding the case(Allamneni, 2017).
Contract laws are focused upon forming more affective guidelines in relation to legalize
agreement upon obligation issued. Agreement formed within these laws can be in written and
unwritten from. Also they can be expressed or implied in nature leading towards attaining
common point of discussion. Contract laws can be justified through this statement that is “ An
agreement can be contract though contract cannot be considered as an agreement”. In more depth
the concept of contract only deals over forming of contract through various elements presented
within it. Elements required within contract formation are offer, acceptance, obligation, legal
aspects and validity. In offer only the idea is been presented in front of parties willing to come
into contract, acceptance means showing acceptance over offer by another party to other party.
Obligation these are those rules and regulations that is been decided by parties after discussing
about various aspects related to contract, legality is based upon legal aspects which is been
decided by parties at the time of drafting contract. The last elements is validity which deals over
seeking that contract formation is based upon legal motive and no illegal element involved
within an contract. All these elements should be present together which makes contract formed
legal in the eyes of law(Luetge, 2018).
Advise Avril and Belinda in relation contract existing with rights and responsibility
The above case scenario shows that main point of discussion is based over invitation to
treat within which offer is only formed not accepted. This deals with problem of offer made and
differs from offer in an way that in this only offer is formed only with invitation whereas in offer
idea is required to be accepted. So, it cannot be treated as valid offer in order to provide
justification upon it relevant case law is Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain v Boots
facts of the case is based upon introducing of self service system within shops which is based
upon pickup of goods from shelf and them put them within basket. The purchased product or
medicine should stay in basket till the time cash has been paid. The Pharmaceutical Society of
Great Britain bringing action over determining legality is the system. Under it sales of
pharmaceutical products is required by law that is been sold in presence of pharmacist. In this
court is required over determining contract come within existence. In this cased court observed
that self service system is just an invitation to treat but not mandatory and thus cannot be treated
as offer. Also court told that under it customers takes good and creates offer over providing

assistance related to choice over acceptance regarding offer. The contract is therefore concluded
at the till in the presence of a pharmacist. So, this cannot be treated as offer only invitation to
treat exists which can never be treated as an valid offer. In the above case only offer to invitation
has been made to Aviril but no acceptance is been seen. Thus no contract exists within it
(McArdle, 2019).
Case study: The case includes Charlie that distributed upon making advertisement
through flyers offering electrical services within home town which is Flitterbug. Darwash
contacts Charlie through mail address printed upon making flyer in relation to extensive wiring
to be replaced at his home. Charlie replies over eventual contract which has been created within
him. Eddie who is an independent contractor has been assessing upon work needed. So he
phones upon conforming that work will start from Monday. Also Eddie completed the work and
Darwash receives bill of three thousand five hundred euroes from Eddie and five hundred euro
from Charlie. In relation to this Charlie it is not electrical contractor which makes agent over
finding work other than electrician like Eddie. After truing the taps on Darwash discovers that
Eddie work is uncompleted and required to be done again(Medina-Vicent, 2017).
Advise Darwash over which contract
From the above case scenario it can be observed that binding contract is the main topic
for discussion which means those contract formed over making sure that both parties agreed
upon making obligation that is required to be followed by parties. In other words binding
contract are those contracts which make legal obligations created over the contract taken place
between parties agreeing upon making obligations formed under a contract. Such contract makes
legal obligations formed in relation over contract that has been taking place within parties. In the
above case both offer and acceptance is there over contract formed thus it proves that binding
contract exists(Menkel-Meadow, 2017).
In this rights has been formed which makes rights.
Under binding contracts major rights exists which is to be given to Charlie and Eddie that
has been explained as follows:
 Right to timely and full monetary payment.
 Right to repairs, refunds, or exchanges.
 Right to file a lawsuit over a contract breach or dispute.
 Other rights related to the particular intentions of each party

Remedies in relation to Charlie and Eddie
Under contract law wrong is been committed when an obligation formed between parties
is violated and breach has taken place. Breach can occur in the form of breach of contract and
breach of trust. Thus breach can be treated through remedies that is available within contract they
are damages, injunction, specific performance, repudiation and repossession. In damages claim is
based upon money, injunction is based over order that has been passed by courts, specific
performance only specific element of an contract is been checked and then courts decides over
compensation to be given. In repudiation and repossession depth of the case is been studied.
Form the above case scenario it can be observed that misrepresentation and undue influence has
been created which makes breach occur thus remedy available for such breach is repudiation.
Relevant case law that justifies the case condition is Long v Lloyd under it court held that
accepting the offer in relation to payment makes half repairs after the party becomes aware
about defect taking place. Under it defendant lost right to rescind as he had affirmed the
contract(Mollona and Faldetta, 2021).
CONCLUSION
The above discussion helps in making concept of business law and ethics understood.
These are that kind of laws which makes sustainability attained regarding formation of healthy
business environment which makes both employer and employees work with more efficiency.
The file explains about contract laws with its basics as these are the laws that has been formed in
order to make legality attained regarding contract formation. Then in this file binding contracts,
right of parties and remedies provided over breach of contract has been explained.
