Case 1The problems began when Ravi told Alice that he would be willing to sell her his house, which she had rented to him as a student, after she graduated diploma. An interesting question is whether or not what Ravi said constitutes a genuine offer. Should his “willingness” to sell be considered a final offer or an offer to do business at a specific time, as an invitation to deal? Another possible problem is that Ravi told her he wanted to sell the house 4 months before graduation and Alice gave him her "acceptance" by mail about 4 months after graduation . This left Alice about 8 months to think about a possible deal. Was Ravi's deadline for Alice's graduation in April or a reasonable time after or was acceptance open until Alice found suitable employment? Other problems stem from the mode of acceptance, which took the form of a letter by mail, making it a non-instantaneous form of communication (McInnes, Kerr, VanDuzer, 2011, p.167-169). This form of communication causes a significant delay in acceptance. As a result, Ravi received Alice's letter a day after entering into a contract for the property in question with a developer. Did Ravi intend for the price to match the market value of the house at the time of her graduation in April? Did Alice hold on until the value of the house dropped? Although the details are vague, it is possible that there was no real meeting of minds in this situation. Perhaps Ravi meant that he would consider doing business with her in April, with April market values, while Alice assumed that Ravi would keep the offer open until she found a job. The courts may also have to interpret what Ravi meant when he told A......in the middle of a sheet of paper......try the contract in question. These issues, coupled with the possibility that Sylvia was using her aunt's fear of going to her nursing home against her, strengthen Millie's legal position. If Millie is able to read and understand the contract in the future, perhaps through a clearer mental state, she can and should seek her own independent legal advice if she chooses to transfer the land (McInnes, Kerr, VanDuzer , 2011, p 242). ). Regardless, the contract appears void, voidable, and unenforceable based on this information. Works Cited McInnes, M., Kerr, I., VanDuzer, A.
