This part introduces the doctrine of offer, the first and essential step in forming a legally binding contract. It explains how English law draws the line between genuine contractual commitment and everyday negotiations, showing when a statement becomes something that can be accepted to create legal obligations.
Using clear explanations and leading cases, this part explores common exam scenarios such as advertisements, shop displays, auctions, tenders, and public promises. It highlights why courts insist on clarity and certainty before imposing liability and how this protects parties from accidental contracts while still enforcing serious commitments. By the end of this part, students will be able to confidently identify offers, distinguish them from invitations to treat, and understand how this doctrine shapes everything that follows in contract formation.
