what is an offer an offer is the starting point for a contract
- an offer can be made by anyone
- an offer can be made through a notice or a machine (Thornton v shoe lane
parking)
- an offer must be definite in its terms
- 'a statement of intent to be legally bound by the terms of the offer, if accepted'
- an offer can be made to an individual, a group of people or everyone
Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball Co unlilateral contract offer accepted by conduct
invitation to treat asking the customer if they would like to make an offer
- terms such as 'might be prepared to' indicate an ITT as they indicate uncertainty
Gibson v Manchester City Council council's letter was only an invitation to treat, not a definite offer for Gibson to
accept
-For a contract to exist, there must be a clear and unequivocal offer and
acceptance.
-A statement like "may be prepared to sell" is too vague to be an offer.

Harvey v Facey not an offer as he had only responded to a request of information
-A statement of price alone is not an offer.
-A mere supply of information in response to a query does not constitute an
offer.
This case clearly distinguishes:
-Offer vs. invitation to treat/information
-It emphasises that mutual agreement (offer + acceptance) is essential for a
contract.
British Car Auctions v Wright auctions amount to an invitation to treat and not an offer, become an offer when
hand is raised
Reinforces the contract law distinction between:
Offer: A definite promise to be bound.
Invitation to Treat: An invitation for others to make offers. (Fisher v Bell, Partridge
v Crittenden)
Fisher v Bell displays of goods in shop windows are an invitation to treat , not an offer
Partridge v Crittenden adverts are generally invitations to treat
