2. The owner / managing director of Rigby Corporate Function Planners will stay on in a consultative role for a period of 12 months, the terms of which will be contained in a separate agreement.Agreement on this was reached on the 15/02/2019.

1. Transition of staff leave liabilities,
2. Transfer of intellectual property, and the
3. Mechanism for informing Rigby Corporate Function Planner's major clients.

As at today's date a rough draft of a contract had been prepared by Events Management but had not been forwarded to Rigby Corporate Function Planners for review.

Samantha has just informed you via email that the Managing Director of Rigby Corporate Function Planners has just emailed to advise that they will be withdrawing from the proposed business sale. Samantha explains that your company has spent considerable time and resources on this acquisition and wants to know what legal options may exist to force the conclusion of the sale.

You are required to write a memorandum of advice for Samantha to present to your company's CEO. This advice needs to consider the following:

Part A

1.You will need to address all the essential elements of a contract (including consideration) as well as analyse the legal status of each step or event that will support your analysis regarding the existence or not of a contract. Refer to relevant case law.

2.Your memorandum of advice should provide a reasoned conclusion on the status of the contract.

Part B

3.Assuming that a contract is yet to be formed, can Events Management rely the decision in Masters v Cameron (1954) 91 CLR 353 to prove that a contract exists?Your answer should refer to the three tests identified by the court and then make a reasoned conclusion concerning the likelihood of a contract between the parties existing

I'm a bit lost with which case law i should use, can you help me please
