Sir, please today do not restrict me for asking max. 3 questions because tomorrow I have f4 exam. So today is the last day that I will be asking my queries for f4. Please its a request…
Alvin runs a business selling expensive cars. Last Monday he mistakenly placed a notice on one car indicating that it was for sale of $5000
when in fact its real price was $25000. Bert later noticed the sign and recognizing what a bargain it was immediately
indicated to Alvin that he accepted the offer and would take the car for the indicated amount. Alvin, however, told bert
that there had been a mistake and that the true price of the car was $25000.. Bert insisted that he was entitled to get
the car at the lower price , and when alvin would not give to him at that price Bert said he would sue Alvin.After Bert had left, Alvin chnaged the price on the car to $25000 and subsequently Cat came in and said she would like
to buy the car, but that she would have to arrange the finance.On Tuesday Del came by and offered Alvin the full $25000 cash there and then and Alvin sold it to him.
Question: Is their a binding contract between Del and Alvin?
Sir here we would say that their IS A binding contract between Del and Alvin na?

January 29, 2018 at 2:28 pm #433808Yes, there is a binding contract between Cat and Alvin so Alvin will need to go out and buy another car, same make, same model, same age, same condition and sell it to Cat for $25,000, no matter how much Alvin has to pay to buy that car
OK?
