2023 FREE GHANA SCHOOL OF LAW ENTRANCE EXAMS REVISION- LESSON 10- LAW OF CONTRACT- OFFER & ACCEPTANC

IN THIS LESSON 10 WE DISCUSSED LAW OF CONTRACT- OFFER AND ACCEPTANCE
QUESTION TEASER
Brown knows that Wright has been keen to buy his car. On Monday, he tells Wright that he has decided to sell at a price of GH20, 000. Wright says that he is very interested, but would like to think about it. Brown says: ‘I will assume that you want it, unless you tell me otherwise by Saturday.’ On Friday, Wright meets Green who tells him that Brown has just agreed to sell the car to Smith for GH22, 000. Wright, who has decided he wants the car, immediately puts a letter in the post accepting Brown’s offer. Later that day, however, he has a change of mind, and calls on Brown to tell him to ignore the letter. Brown tells him that his deal with Smith has fallen through, and that he is still keen to sell to Wright.
GUIDE
Identify issues- the issues are the question of acceptance by silence, communication of acceptance, communication of the revocation of an offer, particularly where it has been indicated that it will remain open until a particular date, the effect of Section 8(1) of Act 25 , and recall of a posted acceptance.
