Case

HYDE v. WRENCH

The defendant offered to sell his estate to the plaintatiff on 6

June for £1000. On 8 June, in reply, the plaintiff made a
counter-proposal to purchase at £950. When the
defendant refused to accept this offer on 27 June, the
plaintiff wrote again that he was prepared to pay the
original sum demanded. The court held that no contract
existed between them. The plaintiff had rejected the
original proposal on 8 June so that he was no longer
capable of accepting it later.

Application

In Jaja’s letter on 23/02/2010, she offered to sell her horse to

Jojo for RM8000. On 25/02/2010 Jojo
received the offer letter and immediately replied by post
stating that she accepted the offer with condition that
she agree to buy the horse for RM7000. In this case Jojo
has made counter offer with Jaja.

Conclusion

In this case not have binding contract between Jaja and Jojo.
Jaja not agree the counter offer that has made by Jojo.
