Task – 2
2.1
There is no intention to create legal relations because it is an oral saying. So he is not liable for his saying and there is no such legal contract or agreement is present. If he will not come in the bar after 10 minutes or if he failed to buy drinks to students still students can take any legal action on him as what he says was just an oral statement.

    A contract represents “a mutual agreement between two or more parties that something shall be done or forborne by one or both”, signifies “the supply of certain articles” and implies “ the performance of the specified work at a certain price, rate, or commission”(Harder, 2013). Every contract should be legally enforceable, even one not in writing. Although proving the existence of the contract may be harder if it is not in writing, it may still be formed. In case one and two, both of the contractors does not fulfill one of its obligations under the contract which includes the gratuitous promises. Especially, if “one party breaches the terms within the contract as a result of a gratuitous promise made by the other party”(Marston, pp. 93), broken…

    Promissory Estoppel Essay

    • 707 Words
    • 3 Pages

    This essay seeks to discuss the Doctrine of Promissory Estoppel and the Doctrine of Consideration, as well as a clear analysis, with the use of case law, how Promissory Estoppel has become an exception to the general principle that a promise may only be enforced if it is supported by good consideration; it will ultimately conclude whether or not a promise to accept a smaller sum in discharge of a larger sum, if acted upon, is binding notwithstanding the absence of consideration. A contract is a legally binding agreement in law between two or more parties, which is enforced by law or by binding arbitration if it covers the elements of a valid legal agreement. For there to be a valid contract, three elements must be present, offer, acceptance, and consideration. If there is no consideration, there is no contract; however, with promissory estoppel instead of consideration, if there is a promise which induces reliance, the court would find some sort of liability for the promise.…

    Introduction Offer is the first step if you want to constitute a contract. Without offer there is no acceptance and without acceptance there is no contract. There are two main types of offers, which are, the bilateral offer and the unilateral offer. A bilateral offer is an offer given to a specific audience and it targets a specific group or party. While, on the other hand, a unilateral offer is an offer proposed to the public in general and is accepted through conduct or performance.…
