Contract Law Case Study: Redgrave V Hurd (1881)
Introduction
With a specific end goal to break down this case, it would be a smart thought to begin by defining the term law and contract law. A law can be stated as “ A rule of civil conduct prescribed by the supreme power in a state, commanding what is right, and prohibiting what is wrong” (blackstone). Contract law can be defined as the written agreement which binds two people with certain rules and regulations as decided by both the parties and mentioned in the contract.

After few years when he realized that the law practice was “absolutely useless“, he refused to make any more payments. The offended party sued for particular execution. Redgrave was successful at trial and Hurd appealed.
Here in the above case also the gold chain which Bushra and Amal liked to purchased was said to be 22K gold by Mr. chaminder the store manager. Later when Bushra went to sell the gold chain she found that the gold chian was not a real gold and just has a gold plated which was wearing off slowly. Here Mr. Chaminder misrepresented the real price and value to sell off the chain. This is just not the right way to make the contract. Bushra when she found decided to sue the store manager but she really can’t do because she is just a third party and there is no contract between her and store manager. Amal the friend of Bushra can sue the store manager but like the case of Redgrave v Hurd where Hurd was on fault, here also Amal can be on fault for not checking the product properly before purchasing.
