You are expected to use the academic literature to support a well-constructed argument
on the above topic. That is, you are supposed to write an annotated bibliography rather
than just descriptions and summary (please see the link below as to what is an annotated
ibliography).
‘Acceptance is a definite and unqualified assent to an offer, on all of its
terms. Any acceptance given conditionally will not result in a legally binding
agreement.’
Discuss the accuracy of the above statement with reference to Australian contract law. Your
answer should include reference to a number of relevant cases, focusing on explaining the
decisions of the court in each, rather than merely summarising the facts.
You should discuss the role acceptance plays in contract formation, including explanation
and discussion of the way the courts have responded to conditional or qualified
‘acceptance’, citing the relevant judicial decisions.
You must use a number of reputable academic sources outside of the prescribed text and
follow the footnotes and bibliography.
Marks are specifically awarded for the above. Failure to conduct adequate research or to
properly acknowledge sources may result in failing the assignment or further penalties.
This assignment must be submitted through the Turnitin link for this assignment.
