Document Summary
The display of an article in a shop window, with a card indicating the price is not an offer but merely an invitation to treat: a prospective purchase may make an offer to purchase an item that the shopkeeper can either accept or decline, example: in grainger vs gough [1896], it was found that a bookseller who send out catalogues is not making an offer but rather issuing an invitation to transact business. [3. 160] pg. 68: acceptance: an acceptance occurs when the party to whom an offer is made agrees to the proposal of the offeror, acceptance can be made by word of mouth, in writing or by conduct and must be made in the manner indicated by the offeror, an offer can only be accepted by the person to whom it is made but there is nothing to prevent an offer being made to a number of persons generally, any of whom may accept, example: in r v clarke (1927)
