Tyres Case

1. Offer & Acceptance

Answer Q1. (a)

Actually it wasn't contract between Apec and the Booty Supermarket, Because what stated in the banner as "Special Offer" it was just Invitation to treat (ITT) which mean (Offer to receive an offer. Under UK law, the price tag on an item displayed in a shop window (or advertised over public media) is an invitation-to-treat and not an offer of sale (the acceptance of which constitutes a contract).so consequence mean there is no contract.

Answer Q1. (b/i)

Apec will accept the proposal of the cashier to buy the hand phone at RM900, and there is a contract according to the law which state in: Sect 2(h) Contracts Act 1950 / Contract is an agreement enforceable: Agreement + Enforceability = Contract.

Answer Q1. (b/ii)

Apec suggest to the cashier to sell him the hand phone for RM880 but the cashier turned him down because Apec has no contractual right to fix the price at RM880.
