Ask the Tutor ACCA LW

Privity of Contract _ LW ENG

CCindy7y ago
Hi. Why is over and above the legal/natural duties considered to be exempt from privity of contract? Sorry I still cannot understand the concept of privity of contract. I am still under this topic with OPentuition and have no previous knowledge on LW ENG, can I buy the revision kit as early as now? I have no schedule yet in taking LW ENG since our local CBE has no schedule yet for next year.

Cindy, you have me confused! Where have you read / heard that 'acts over and above ...' are exemptions from the doctrine of privity of contract? Such 'acts that are over and above a legal, contractual or natural duty already owed' are examples of 'sufficient to merit the title of "consideration" '... ... but, to the best of my knowledge, they are not illustrative of exemptions from the doctrine of privity Better? You ask "can I buy the revision kit as early as now?" You most certainly can and, once you have it in your possession, open it and start practicing ... even before you have finished reading your study text You need to spend 70% - 80% of your study time in that revision kit (5% - 10% in a study text and 10% - 25% in the opentuition resources (lectures and course notes)) And, of course, post again in this forum and I shall get back to you OK?
