You must, as far as possible, use your own words This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on :53:03 GMT -06:00 when you answer the assignment. If you merely copy sections of the study guide or textbook, this will constitute plagiarism. • THIS ASSIGNMENT MUST BE SUBMITTED ON myUnisa IN PDF FORMAT (and must NOT be in “read-only” format). IF YOUR ASSIGNMENT IS SUBMITTED (ON myUnisa) IN ANY OTHER FORMAT, IT WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. • For the first assignment, you are required to read two cases (which are referred to in the next paragraph). Together with the reading of these cases, you must study all the relevant prescribed sections of the prescribed textbook to fully answer the assignment question. Note that finding and reading the cases is part of showing that you are able to conduct basic research, before you proceed to answer the question. When you read a case as part of your researching exercise, you must identify whether a case is relevant to the facts in the problem-type question, and if so, to what extent. As part of this exercise, you must also consider if a case is not relevant, and if the facts therein are distinguishable to the facts in the question that you are dealing with. • The two cases that you must read for the first assignment are Cape Explosive Works Ltd v South African Oil and Fat Industries; Cape Explosive Works Ltd v Lever Brothers (South Africa) Ltd 1921 CPD 244, and A to Z Bazaars (Pty) Ltd v Minister of Agriculture 1975 (3) SA 468 (A). You can find these judgments in conventional law libraries, online at the website of the Southern African Legal Information Institute (SAFLII) (), or as an e-resource on the Unisa Library site. On the Unisa Library site click on “Find e-resources”. Then click on “Subjects” and after that, scroll down the page and click on “Law”. Scroll down to and click on “Jutastat e-Publications (Juta Law Online)” or “LexisNexis (South African Law)”, to find the South African cases that you are looking for. • Importantly, once you find and read the two cases mentioned in the previous paragraph, use these two cases to also identify the relevant section(s) in the prescribed textbook to fully answer the assignment question. Study the relevant section(s) of the textbook. Use these two cases that you read, and the relevant prescribed sections of the prescribed textbook to fully answer the following question: On 5 August, X sends a written offer by post to Y, to purchase Y’s ROLEX watch for R10000. One of the terms in the offer is that the offer will lapse on 20 August. The offer also stipulates that X must be aware of the acceptance, for any legal obligations to arise. Y writes the letter of acceptance on 9 August in response to X’s offer, and Y posts this written acceptance on 10 August. X’s son collects the post from the Post Office on 17 August, and amongst the sealed letters of post collected, is Y’s acceptance. X’s son is not responsible and only hands all the sealed post to X, on 20 August. On 21 August, X opens the post and reads the letter of acceptance. Was a legally binding contract concluded between X and Y? Discuss and substantiate fully.
