C/L/95. Contract Law: Offer, Acceptance, Consideration, Promissory Estoppel and Implied Terms

This paper comprises three problem questions (scenarios) dealing with the basic issues of contract law at undergraduate level. Namely offer acceptance, consideration and promissory estoppel. In particular, it looks at the facts and the relevant law and then applies the law to the facts and advises the �clientŽ. The questions deal with all the key cases learnt on an undergraduate law degree, from Partridge v Crittenden to the High Trees case on promissory estoppel. The last question is an examination of the various ways that terms can be implied into a contract without being expressly stated namely fact, customary practices, statute and the common law.
