ASSIGNMENT 1
CR is requested to collect all assignments before the class starts on the given date and
handover to the Course Instructor.
QUESTION 1:
Discuss and analyze the concept of “mere invitation to treat” with at least 5 case laws and
judicial decisions. Why are catalogues, advertisements, shop displays considered to be ITT?
How does an “Invitation to treat” differ from an actual “Offer” and what are its
implications on the contractual obligations of individual parties? (Make a TABLE to
distinguish between the 2 terms).
QUESTION 2:
Jeff is the director of a successful business who specialize in selling refrigerators. Jeff’s
supplier of refrigerator parts, Freeze4lyfe, are in some financial difficulties. Jeff, being the
diligent businessman that he is, sees this as a golden opportunity. His business owes
Freeze4lyfe £100,000, but this isn’t payable until next year. He is aware that Freeze4lyfe
may be willing to accept a lesser amount now in order to get out of their difficulties. He
contacts Freeze4lyfe and offers them £40,000 and 5 new refrigerators to waive the debt.
Freeze4lyfe reluctantly accept the offer and waive the debt. Discuss all the legal issues in this
case on behalf of Jeff. You must cite at least 4 cases as precedents to back up your analysis
and advice.
(Think about the legal issues arising here and conduct your own research to address the
issues identified.)
