ABSTRACT
Introduction There can be few contract exam papers which do not contain a question on offer and acceptance. Students will often make this one of their ‘banker’ questions, but you will need to make sure that you are prepared to deal with any of the forms in which a question about offer and acceptance may be asked. The topics which are covered within this general heading are quite varied, but are nevertheless fairly predictable. General issues which will need to be understood include: • the nature of an offer and an acceptance – is an advertisement an offer?
