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
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
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
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
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!!
Dear Mike, Please can you explain ” Exclusion Clause Appearing on Receipts or Letter of Confirmation after an order has been made are not being incorporated at the time the contract is made”. Thanks

Thank You for your response.
I apologize before hand for posting this question on this lecture.
Is the limit for multi track compensation 25 000 pounds or 15 000 pounds ?
This should be on the Ask the Tutor page. Please post it again on that page and I’ll answer it straight away

How would we differentiate that either its a material change or an insignificant change?
Material alterations are alterations to quantity, price, description, delivery date.
Others tend to be insignificant

Hi – if you’re going to learn them (and my post says “don’t bother”) then at least learn them properly! It’s Dickinson v Dodds not Dodds v Dickson!!!!

Dear Mike, Please can you explain ” Exclusion Clause Appearing on Receipts or Letter of Confirmation after an order has been made are not being incorporated at the time the contract is made”. Thanks
I have been taking notes from the lectures, interesting session.
Love open tuition.
Secondly, where are these classes held?
i thought law was the worst course ever but you have actually made me like it a lot. thanks its not such a burden anymore
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 ?
