Word Limit 1000 words Coursework Question Finemarket (a shop) placed the following advert in the newspaper: "Sale. Many special offers, including 20 per cent off all stated clothing prices". Usman went to the shop to buy some clothes but found they were being sold at the normal price with no reduction. He told the shop that he had seen the advert (which he brought with him) and that he was entitled to get 20 per cent off the price. Usman later looked at Finemarket's web site and saw an Electro brand television for sale at 200. He emailed the shop and asked Do you still have an Electro television for 200?" He received a reply: "Yes we have one left in stock. Would you like us to keep it for you?" He emailed back: Yes please, I would like it. However due to problems with Usmans' email this last message was never received by Finemarket. Usman also posted the same day a letter to Finemarket which also said that he would like to buy the television. The letter arrived the next day. Before they received the letter from Usman Finemarket had sent him another email which said that because they had not heard from him the television had now been sold to someone else and that they were not getting any more in stock. Usman is arguing that he has a contract with Finemarket to purchase an Electro television for 200. Advise Usman on how the rules of offer and acceptance in relation to forming a contract can be argued to the above situations.
