CONTRACT ASSIGNMENT:

A)This is a case based on the principle of offer. According to section 3 of the Indian contracts
act 1872 the communication of the proposal is deemed to be made by an act or omission of
the party who has proposed. Here the offer made is general so anyone can accept the offer
whosoever performs the given instructions. Section 3 and section 9 of the Indian contracts act
talk about how an offer should be communicated and comes to the knowledge of the proposer
to whom it is made. But in this communication was not completed because she returned the
bicycle before she read the mail. Here her intention was to help and not get the reward
money. This case is similar to Carlil v Carbolic Smokeball company where the proposal was
also a general proposal acceptable by anyone who fulfils the conditions of acceptance.

B)According to the facts given in this situation Charles will be able to get reward. In this case
the Charles started acting after the offer was communicated to him. According to section 4 of
the Indian Contracts Act of 1872, acceptance is completed as against the proposer when it is
put in course of transmission to him so as to be out of the acceptor; as against the acceptor
when it comes to the knowledge of the proposer

As given and studied from Felthouse and Bindley, (1862) 6 LT 157.

C)In this case we can point out that revocation is complete. According to section 5 on Indian
Contracts Act, 1872, a proposal may be revoked anytime before the communication of its
acceptance is completed as against the proposer, but not afterwards. Here the revocation was
started on Wednesday and Artem put the notice of the same outside the bike shed. One of his
employees Freddie and communicated it to Devi hence the revocation was completed. Now
even if Devi goes to Artem and returns his cycle even then he will not get any reward because
revocation was completed before acceptance.

D)In this case when Artem from his Ferrari, shouts it was the time when the offer was in
initation and there was no notice of revocation on Tuesday the revocation notice was put on
Wednesday. So according to section 4 the offer was communicated and now if Etyan returns
the cycle to Artem he will be able to receive the reward as the offer was completed and Etyan
has cycle with him and it does not matter how he got the cycle and when he got the
acceptance and then Artem is bound because the contract has been done. According to
section 9 the proposal or acceptance of any proposal made in words is express and so far as
such proposal is made otherwise than words, the promise is said to be implied. Here Etyan’s
action has provided implied acceptance as he returns the cycle to Artem.
