No, Sam can’t sue Mary for breach of contract. Although the basic terms of price and property (the violin) had been contained in this case, the violin with price displayed is an invitation to treat, not an offer. Offer is defined as the expression of one person’s intention to others to have a legally binding agreement, so an offer must show the intention of the offeror (Mary) to make an offer to the offeree (Sam). In the case of Harvey v Facey [1893] AC 552, Harvey asked whether would Facey sell him the Bumper Hall Pen and telegraph him the lowest cash price-answer paid. Facey replied that the lowest price was £900 and then Harvey agreed to buy for this amount. But Facey refused to sell later. The court held that the offer of lowest acceptable price did not constitute an offer to sell but an invitation to treat. In our case, what Mary said to Sam was also an invitation to treat that has no legally binding effect. When one person makes an invitation to treat, he or she is just inviting offers instead of making ones. Examples of invitations to treat include advertisements in newspapers, shop displays, and auctions, etc. In the case of Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain v Boots Cash Chemist …show more content…
Sometimes there would be something given in return for the promise in the agreement (Combe v Combe [1951] 1 All ER 767) unless the agreement is in the form of a deed which is a signed, sealed and delivered document. So a gift not in the form of a deed cannot be enforced under contract law as there is no consideration supporting it. But in Esso Petroleum Co Ltd v Customs & Excise Commissioners [1976] 1 All ER 117, a company said in an advertisement that there would be a free world cup coin “given in return for 4 gallons of petrol”. Most judges decided that there was a contract as to the coin and it was not a gift because the coin has value. This case is just the same as ours. The metronome Mary promised to give was an offer to
Our decision was based on determining if there was contract formed and if the terms of said contract were performed by both parties. We found that Abigail placed an advertisement with the intent to lead readers to believe that she was selling “purebred toy breed puppies” for $100, “quoted for immediate acceptance”. Alex responded to Abigail’s advertisement and accepted her offer by submitting the required $100 payment to the P.O. Box, as stipulated in the advertisement, and inquired about when he could pick up
The four elements of a contract are the agreement, the consideration, contractual capacity, and a legal object. The oral agreement between Sam and the chain store satisfies the agreement element of a contract definition because when the chain store offered to sell Sam 's invention at their stores, Sam accepted by agreeing to ship 1000 units in exchange. The second element of a contract, the “consideration of each party,” is satisfied because Sam and the chain store have something to give the other (1000 units of the invention in exchange for the exclusive sales of the product at their stores). The third element is “contractual capacity,” which may or may not be fulfilled since we do not know Sam 's age or whether
The Western concert flute was developed over the centuries from a simple end-blown flute to the current transverse flute. Transverse flutes are flutes that are held parallel to the floor. To play a transverse, the flutist directs the airstream across the mouth or blow hole and not directly into the instrument. The flute constitutes one of the most important instruments of the orchestra because of its high range, ability to blend in with other instruments and play the melody.
In this paper, l will present and explain Judith Jarvis Thomson's Violinist case as a defense of abortion and why Thomson's defense is unsuccessful. Judith Thomson's Violinist case your wake up in a bed with a famous unconscious violinist, who is diagnosed with a fatal kidney ailment. The Society of Music Lovers has kidnapped you and plugged the violinist circulatory system into yours after finding out you alone have the correct blood type available to help. The director of the hospital tells you unplugging the violinist would kill him, and he has to stay plugged in for nine months in order to recover. In this case, you were kidnapped and did not give your consent to the operation, yet because the violinist right to life outweighed your right
In string orchestras there are four instruments used: the violin, viola, cello, and bass. Most high schools contain this type of orchestra; however there are many other instruments that can be added to create a symphonic orchestra. From the string instruments the best is actually the most undervalued instrument. The “Middle Child” of the family of strings. The one that everyone should want to play is obviously the viola. The violin, cello, and bass are all wrong. Each one has their own handicap that prevents them from being the best.
I saw my phone light up out of the corner of my eye during that faithful weekly orchestra rehearsal in November. My stomach did flips as I tried to adhere to orchestra etiquette of no cell phone use during rehearsal, but I couldn’t help but look. I anxiously opened the text from my orchestra teacher while the conductor walked over to a section where I was out of his line of sight, only to see the words I had been dreading for the past three weeks. “I’m sorry, Esther. You didn’t make it.” I could feel my face turn bright red, paralyzed by the shock and disappointment. I silently sat in my seat for the rest of rehearsal, angry that I had no one to blame but myself for the outcome.
The Banjo Lesson by Henry Tanner is one of his most famous works. The message to the viewer somewhat speaks for itself. Tanner’s work displays a lesson on how the black race broke ground from just being known as entertainers, now being known as an artist in the 19th century to a broad range of important roles in society today. One of Tanner’s painting called /is something I can absolutely relate to, because as a child, I was taught in the same manner with my uncle. The Banjo Lesson was painted in 1893 with Tanner using size and placement as a technique to emphasize the figures of the old man who is teaching the little boy how to play the banjo.
After an accident, a virtuoso violinist has to learn to play the violin again, but her illicit affair with a psychotherapist threatens her new success.

Suffering from depression and suicidal thoughts, Yolanda decides to learn how to play the violin again with only three fingers. She seeks the help from a violin teacher KYRA. When Yolanda and Kyra clash over whether Kyra can help her or not, Yolanda calls a crisis hotline and talks to HARRY SIMMONS, a psychotherapist.
Whether a concerto or mehfil (Indian concert), the sultry yet poignant dance of rhythms is one that many generations cherish. This is the beauty and delicacy of the human voice and the stringed instrument which upstages all others. When I was six my mother decided that I would play violin and sing Carnatic music, insisting I would practice both. Scrutinizing the cheap stringed monstrosity, I grew disheartened at the screeches it emitted. I expected to make it sing like my new idols, Hilary Hahn and Lindsey Stirling effortlessly managed to do.
This judgment given set criterion which is still been used in the modern court system and due to this case it was developed that an offer of contract can be unilateral and doesn’t have to be made to a specific party only. Also it was developed to that the acceptance of an offer does not require a notification and that once the concerned party purchases the product the contract is active then and there itself. And it was also established that purchase of an item is a fine example of consideration and therefore makes it a valid contract. (Smith, 2000).
He held an old violin in his hands with far more care than the owner had ever held the instrument in its entire life. His mouth curled up in a sneer as he looked down at the poor thing. The moment the violin had arrived in his possession he had disliked the owner of it for several reasons. For one thing, he had a smug, youthful curl to his lip, and his collar was mussed.
I recently learned about music and gained some culture by visiting a classical show. The opera concert was located at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC in the west building. The concert was in the honor of African American History month. This was a classical concert and it was free but it was on a first come first seat based. Because there was limited seats available in the area because it was small and some seats were already reserve.
Abstract and background: The Musikverein in Vienna is often cited as the world’s best concert hall, in terms of not only aesthetic appreciation but also architectural acoustics. In this case study, we try to discuss how scientific design betters music and how it may be bettered from three approaches: shape, seating and material. This report presents the findings of our group, as well as additional ones of my own.
What do you really know about the piano. So you think you know the piano. But all you probably really know is that it is an instrument which is more than likely all you may ever think it is. Well I’m here to tell you that that's not all it is or all it means to people. Why is the history of the piano . How did the piano change music as it is.
In the case of one party promising to give another party £50, it is merely seen as a gift, therefore this is considered unenforceable as a simple contract. This may be justifiable as there is nothing which clearly illustrates that, it is a necessity for a party to give something, in order for them to be able to enforce a promise. This is also known as the “quid pro quo,” it has been similarly illustrated in; Dunlop v Selfridge [1915] AC 847 (HL).
