Task 1
A person saw an electric iron in the showcase of a shop. A label below the iron mentioned the price as Rs.
1500. He had been looking for that model of electric iron for a long time. He approached the shop to buy
one such iron. However, he was told that the shop did not have that model in stock. The person insisted that
he be given the one in the display window. Is the display of articles in the shop window an offer? Justify your
answer.
This provides evidence for P1.
Task2
A hotel invited Tenders for a supply of provisions. A manufacturer of soap submitted the
following tender to the hotel: “We undertake to supply to Avon hotel, soap in 10 gram packs for
Rs. 2 a piece, with such quantities as they may order from time to time during January 1, 2008
to December 31, 2008.” The hotel responded to the tender thus: “We are pleased to inform
you that your tender for the supply of soap to the hotel has been accepted. We will be in
communication with you.” The hotel, instead later decided to put herbal bathing gel in its
rooms. Thus, they did not take any supply from the manufacturer. The manufacturer claims
that there was a breach of contract in the hotel not putting any orders on it. Decide.
This provides evidence for M1.
Task 3
Jupiter Trading Ltd is a trading company in Mumbai, with more than 50 branches all over India. It trades in
spices. The branch managers used to negotiate with clients for supplying spices and for entering into
contracts. Some inappropriate dealings by some of the branch managers had apparently been carried out.
Thereafter, the board of the company put up a policy stipulating that the contracts would be awarded by
tender. The tender notice was to be published in the national dailies. The concerned branch manager was
required to award the contract to the lowest bidder, as he feared the bidder would not be able to meet the
requirements. The second lowest bidder had earlier supplied several times to the company. The branch
manager awarded the contract to the second lowest bidder. The lowest bidder is aggrieved and claims that
he has a right to be awarded the contract. Decide.
This provides evidence for P2.
