EXAMINATION PAPER FOR CONTRACT LAW
1. Milo owns an art gallery and he telephoned four of his best customers, Olivia,
Richard, Steven and Teresa, who he thought might be interested in a new picture that he had. He left messages on their respective answer machines on
Monday to say that he had one picture:
“Circa 1902 Frank Bott oil painting: Loch Lomond from above Ballach, available to the first person paying £450”. He also said that it could be viewed at the gallery. Olivia received the message and telephoned Milo and offered him £350. He refused. Later on Monday she posted a letter to Milo agreeing to pay the £450.
The letter got lost in the post.
Richard was worried that the painting would be sold and he emailed Milo on
Tuesday agreeing to pay £405 (the price less the usual 10% discount he gets).
Milo did not access the email until Wednesday afternoon.
Steven picked up the message on Tuesday evening and he immediately telephoned Milo’s gallery and left a message on the answering machine stating that he would pay £450. Milo accidentally deleted all of his messages without listening to them.
Teresa decided to attend the gallery on Wednesday morning. She got there just as Milo was opening the shop and they agreed she could buy it for £450.
