  1. Hello sir.. i hv a question regarding the example of revocation being affected for sale of goods. In example the offer was accepted on 15 oct and the revocation was received on 20 oct. what is the status of receipt of acceptance letter by the offeror? I mean as the acceptance didnt reach to the offeror.

    • You’re talking about the case of Byrne v Van Tienhoven and, in that case, the acceptance letter DID reach the offeror

      The principle established / confirmed by the Van Tienhoven case is that the contract is created when the acceptance is:

      put into the postal system,

      properly stamped and addressed,

      through the proper channels,

      and both parties must have believed that postal acceptance was an appropriate method

      When that acceptance letter was received by the offeror, he must have had kittens! Particularly when he discovers in Court that his letter of revocation counted for nothing because the contract was formed on 15th October (postal rule) whereas revocation is effective only when it is actually communicated to the offeree and that didn’t happen until 20th October

      OK?

  4. Hello Mike
    I have a bit of a doubt.. Say for example I want to sell old books..On one of the selling website I added list of the book with the price details and other description. I was contacted by a person about the book and I agreed.. So the contract is established but i forgot to take it off from the website. Later another person wrote to me that he accepts the offer and wants to buy a book but the book is already sold to someone else.. Can the person sue me for breach of contract ?

    • There are no lectures on employment law – it’s a very small area of the syllabus and you’d be unlucky to find it worth more than 2 marks in an exam (4 maximum)

      Check out the past employment law exam questions – there’s only about 10 of them – in a revision kit / exam kit and that should be enough for you to have a sporting chance of scoring the marks in an employment law question

  10. I wish i had these kinds of lectures here in my country, there r so helpful. ..
    I use the Bpp text and most if the time I dont even understand what I read.
    So thank you mr Mike for thses lecture s

  11. hii sir,
    do we have to remember and learn the case and their names(for eg.dodds and dickinson and the case interpretation) for the exam or are they there for us to better understand?
    thanks in advance

    • They are there for your better appreciation of the wonderful world of English F4!

      Don’t worry about case names and certainly don’t worry about case years
      Just concentrate on the principles that the case established (or in some cases, confirmed)

      And keep posting your questions when you encounter a problem 馃檪

  12. hii sir,
    do we have to learn and remember all the cases and their names( for eg.dodds and dickson and the case interpretation) for the exam or are they just there for us to understand better?
    thanks in advance!!

  19. is reading the lecture notes and watching these videos enough or one will require to read the study text.

    coz when i try reading and studying each chapter of a study text it takes me atleast 5-6 hours each chapter.

    so please advise if these notes are enough to pass ?
