****HELP CONTRACT LAW

teddybearr

Hi guys,

I am a new guy here in this forum, and I need help from any law student or you understand much about contract law.

I have this case study that need help, below are the scenario:

Naiker has recently developed an interest in playing the piano. He wanted to buy
a second hand piano to learn. Ahmad who owned a piano posted an offer by
letter to Naiker on Monday 2 June as follows:
“Good quality piano for sale $ 2,500. If you are interested in buying you must
write to me.”

The letter Ahmad posted was delayed because of the postal strike and only
reached Naiker on Thursday 5 June. When Naiker saw this offer he was
overjoyed and in order not to miss the opportunity of buying the piano he
immediately posted his letter of acceptance on Friday 6 June. Naiker’s letter only
reached Ahmad on Monday 9 June.

Meanwhile, Ahmad not receiving a reply from Naiker believed that he is no longer
interested in buying the piano, sold it to Janice on Friday 7 June.
Since Ahmad is an accomplished pianist he organises concerts and plays the
piano in these concerts.

As usual he had booked the Emerald Concert Hall for
his concert. But just one day before the concert Emerald Concert Hall was struck
by lightning and the entire concert hall was burnt down. Ahmad had to cancel the
concert and refund all the money paid by the audience. His piano which was
brought to the Emerald Concert hall two days before the concert has also been
destroyed by the fire.

A) Advise Naiker whether there is an enforceable contract?

Advise Ahmad whether he has any claim against Emerald Concert Hall in
contract law?

I need at least 1600 words in total! Please help me any kind soul out there!

THANK YOU

Did Ahmed consent? What colour ink were the letters signed?

It seems like the emerald hall might have been coerced into burning down.

I'm not sure about this. I don't see any sign of an oat of office either.

Sorry, what I mean is this isn't the place to get other people to do your homework for you.

There should be some books on contract law in your library at college. Start there.

Also look up the following aspects:

1. Invitation to treat.
2. Postal rule.
3. Frustration of contract.

That's a start.

$ - One might want to look up the relevant jurisdiction.

BTW if there's something that's going to get you help with your homework more than being a first time poster asking something that's covered by 30 minutes reading it's typing asterisks and HELP in caps.

Okay frustration is in there 60 - 90 minutes. If you're In Ireland, which I doubt - try Enrights (Principles of Irish Contract Law) book it's very accessible.
