Dear Sir,
Robert is a very successful real property developer and wants to sell his house worth
RM500,000 to one of his employees, Jack. Robert would like to sell his house to Jack for
only RM1,000 due to his excellence performance in the company. However, Robert is
worried about the validity of the contract between them and seeks for your advice on this
matter.I am confusing the question is asking us how to form a valid contract or asking us what are factors will affect the validity of the contract??
if how to form a valid contract – I will apply all the elements of a contract are proposal or offer, acceptance, consideration, intention to create legal relations, capacity, certainty, consent, and legality and explain each of the them
If only factors I will only apply,
This is followed by Section 14 where it states consent is not ‘free’ when it is caused by
the following elements:
– Coercion – S 15 (voidable)
– Undue influence – S 16 (voidable)
– Fraud – S 17 – (voidable)
– Misrepresentation – S 18 – (voidable)
– Mistake – S 21 (void) & S 23 (valid)March 5, 2021 at 7:48 pm #613626Hi
This question does not appear to be from the ACCA Law exam. May I ask you where you found this question please?
I suspect it is looking at formation i.e. Offer, Acceptance, Consideration and Intention and more specifically Consideration. But I do not know where this question is from and the intention of the writer of the question can not be determined until I know from where you found the question as it does not appear to be an ACCA LW question. Please let me know where you found this question.
Kind regards,
Vijay
