In this matter Mrs. Myer had an intension to buy Mr.Perera’s 10 perch land but she
did not make any offer. However she could to know a news from a neighbor that
Mr.Perera is going to sell that land here Mr.perera made an invitation to treat an
invitation to enter into negotiation which it is hoped will lead to the conclusion of a

write by the treasure which stated that the council may be prepared to sell was not an
after as it didn’t finally commit the council for selling the house it was simply an
expression of willingness to enter..in negotiation for the sale house and was not an
offer which was capable of being accepted …
According to the Gibson case Mrs.Mayer got the news from a neighbor that Mr.Prera
is going to sell the land is not an offer rather it is an willingness to sell however
Mr. perera replied the Mrs. Myer’s negotitiation the the land price is 1.5 lak which
fill the requirement of the offer therefore it is important to consider whether there is
an acceptation to conclude the contract an acceptation is an unqualified expression of
assent to the terms proposed by the offer or acceptance also can made by words or
conduct the acceptation is generally only validly communication when it is actually
brought to the attention of the offer or.
In this matter negotiation is completed when Mr.Prera are reply that land price is 1.5
lak per perch and which was acceptation by Mrs. Mayer that she show her
acceptation through conduct to send the deeds to buy the land therefore it’s very
clear there is a valid contract between Mrs. Myer can sue for breach of contract
against Mr.perera
