Bb103 Business Law Assignment Assessment Answer

Logo plate Ltd design plates. Ten thousand dining plates with a ‘Le Chat Noir’ design on the side have produced. On 1 May at 9.00 a.m. Logo plate Ltd posts a note on their website indicating that ‘Le Chat Noir’ plates are for sale for RM1.00 per plate.

 

Sebastian, the owner of Le Chat Noir restaurant, sees the advertisement. He emails Logo plate Ltd at 10.00 a.m. on 1 May asking to have 500 of the plates at RM1.00 per plate. Logo plate Ltd reply at 10.05 a.m. saying that they will sell 500 of the plates at RM1.00 per plate. Sebastian drafts an email at 11.30 a.m. confirming the order. When he presses ‘send’ he is not connected to the internet. As a result, his email stored in his outbox and sent the following morning, 2 May, at 10.30 a.m.

 

The Black Swan Brewery Ltd wants the whole consignment of plates for the launch of their new ‘Le Chat Noir’ beer. They send a van to the premises of Logoplat Ltd with enough cash to pay at RM1 per plate. The van arrives at 4.00 p.m. on 1 May, and the plates are loaded and

sent on their way by 4.30 p.m.  At 4.54 p.m. Logo plate Ltd email Sebastian withdrawing their

offer. Sebastian reads the email at 10.30 a.m. on 2 May when he logs back onto the internet.

Advise Logoplat Ltd as Sebastian is claiming that the rules on offer and acceptance mean that an enforceable contract formed with him before the plates sold to the BlackSwan Brewery Ltd.
