The issue in this case is whether there is a legally binding contract between Roland and Bernie. The things that needs to be considered is whether there is an agreement between Roland and Bernie. If there is an offer and acceptance, then there is an existence of agreement. According to Section 2(a) of the Contract Act 1950, offer can be defines as when one person implies his/her willingness to another in order to acquire their consent. (Abdullah et al, 2011) The person who make the offer is known as ‘offeror’ or ‘promisor’. (Lee and Detta, 2009) An offer can be made in the method of orally, by conduct, writing or by the mixture of these forms. An offer must require an effective communication with offeree. The formation of contract when offeree accepted the proposal. (Dass, 2005) An invitation to treat is an invitation to form a proposal, and thus there is no legal consequences. (Nabi Baksh and Arjunan, 2005) An offer must be differentiated from an invitation to treat. (Lee and Detta, 2009) In this question, Roland was making an invitation to treat when he displayed the price tag on the car vehicle. Actually, he is inviting customers to form an offer to him. When the customers consent the price and discussed with Roland, both of them actually are making the offer. In this situation, it is depends on whether Roland want accept or not. Thus, Bernie is making an offer when she consent to buy the car stated as RM10 000. Bernie implies her willingness to buy the car marked RM10 000 with the expectation of Roland will sell the car to her at this price. Obviously, Bernie is the offeror. A contract will come into being when the people who forms the invitation treat accepts the offer of the customer, for instance Roland accept the offe... ... middle of paper ... ...each and the employee left in a timely manner. (Aminuddin, 2013) In this case, Saito Sdn. Bhd. unilaterally terminated the benefits enjoyed by Roslan. When Roslan believes that her employer is accused of breaching an implied term of the employee’s contract of the employment as her employer had removed the benefits from her and generally it clear that the employee is no longer important. Therefore, constructive dismissal occurred. In this situation, Roslan was advised that make a formal complaint to her employer requesting that the problem be rectified. For instance, Roslan should write a formal letter to her employer asking for the reinstating the previously benefits. If no satisfactory rectification is made, the employee can walk off the job. The law of constructive dismissal requires the employee to leave in a timely manner. She must not delay too long.
Maria had spoken with Eva over the phone concerning the correct total amount of $60,000 for rendering decorating services provided by Eva. Maria had sent a letter of the telephone conversation stating that Eva agreed to take $60,000 in full satisfaction obligation under the contract.

Constructive discharge, or constructive dismissal, means that the employee resigned from their position as a result of the employer creating an intolerable and difficult environment. Constructive discharge is viewed as the employee being pressured to quit due to the employer making changes to the working conditions or responsibilities, but from a legal position, the employee quit due to forced termination, or fired without good cause.

A contract is an agreement, either oral, in writing or inferred by conduct, between two or more persons (the offeror and offeree or promisor and promisee) which is usually intended to be legally binding. A contract concerns 3 main issues, firstly, is there a contract? Secondly, is the agreement one in which the law recognises? Thirdly, when do obligations under contract come to an end and what remedies are there if a contract is broken? (Jones,2015). The question at hand surrounds Sam, who had been offered the opportunity to earn some money for university by helping Jo. But when Sam leaves for university, Jo refuses to pay any money. The following discusses whether Sam has a contract and whether he is entitled to be paid.
The Unfair Dismissals Act 1977-2007 was set up to give clear guidelines on how an employer’s decision to dismiss an employee may be contested by an independent body. The main purpose of this Act is to shield employees from unfair dismissals. It also provides for an adjudication system and a redress system to those employees whose dismissals have been found to be unfair.
An offer can be made to one person or a group of persons or to the world at large. The offeror is bound to fulfil the terms of his offer once it is accepted. The offer may be made in writing, by words or conduct.
This judgment given set criterion which is still been used in the modern court system and due to this case it was developed that an offer of contract can be unilateral and doesn’t have to be made to a specific party only. Also it was developed to that the acceptance of an offer does not require a notification and that once the concerned party purchases the product the contract is active then and there itself. And it was also established that purchase of an item is a fine example of consideration and therefore makes it a valid contract. (Smith, 2000).
An employer may dismiss an employee for a fair reason - this means the dismissal is substantively fair and if the employer has followed a fair procedure - the dismissal is procedurally fair.
In the given case of Hevvy and Traynor, nothing is mentioned about the state of mind of both the parties. So it is assumed from the scenario that both the parties have legal capacity to form a
Law for Business Students defines offer as a full clear statement of terms on which the offeror is prepared to do business with the person(s) to whom the offer is communicated. In Gunthing V Lynne [1831] it was stated that an offer cannot be vague. Acceptance is the unconditional assent to the terms
Offers is the promise made by the offeror and it must be distinguished from invitation to treat it also has a general rule that advertisement or brochures or price list amount to invitation, it cannot be defined as a valid offer. In this case Tony as an offeror he only advertised to invite consumer to treat according to the case Partridge v Crittenden [1968] 1 WLR 1204 generally this advertisement cannot be regarded as offer and there is no promise between Tony and Emma at beginning. Even though this advertisement
In the case of one party promising to give another party £50, it is merely seen as a gift, therefore this is considered unenforceable as a simple contract. This may be justifiable as there is nothing which clearly illustrates that, it is a necessity for a party to give something, in order for them to be able to enforce a promise. This is also known as the “quid pro quo,” it has been similarly illustrated in; Dunlop v Selfridge [1915] AC 847 (HL).
