The English contract Offer and Acceptance General principles There are three basic essentials to the creation of contract which will be recognised and enforced by the courts. These are: contractual intention, agreement and consideration. The Definition of Offer. This is an expression of willingness to contract made with the intention (actual or apparent) that it shall become binding on the offeror as soon as the person to whom it is addressed accepts it. An offer can be made to one person or a group of persons or to the world at large. The offeror is bound to fulfil the terms of his offer once it is accepted. The offer may be made in writing, by words or conduct. Unilateral – some offers are purely one sided, made without the offeror’s having any idea whether they will ever be taken up and accepted, and thereby be transformed into a contract. For example when an advertisement where a person is rewarding another one if he finds his pet (which was lost). In this case the person who is making such an offer is not sure whether this offer will be ever accepted. Bilateral – The majority of offers are Bilateral. While it is not always true, most people make an offer to one named offeree or a small group of parties. Most contracts are made with both parties present on a face-to-face basis. Invitation to treat An invitation to treat made by one party to another is not an offer. An invitation to treat is made at a preliminary stage in the making of an agreement, where one party seeks to ascertain whether the other would be willing to enter into a contract and, if so, upon what terms. To distinguish between an offer and an invitation to treat it is necessary to look at the intention of the person making it. It is not an offer unless it was made with the intention that it should be binding as soon as the person to whom it was addressed communicates hi assent. Some examples of invitations to treat are: Display of goods in shops Advertisement (which can be of bilateral transaction or unilateral contract) Ticket cases Auction sales Tenders Subject to contract Duration and termination of offer An offer continues in existence, capable of acceptance until it is brought to an end. It occurs in six ways Revocation Rejection by the offeree Lapse of time Occurrence of a terminating conditions

I am not going to waste your time by writing exhaustively about how and where Reggae began for three reasons: 1) you definitely know; 2) you have read at least 25 papers before mine with explicit and redundant descriptions of the birth of Reggae; and 3) I don’t think that much else matters for the purpose of this paper besides the reason behind the formation of Reggae culture.

I have completed Bsc (Hons) Construction management at the University of West London, and I would now like to further my career by studying MSC Project enterprise and management at UCL. I have made this decision after understanding that this course will enable me to develop a broad understating of construction management of large and complex projects and increase my commercial awareness of these projects. I also expect this course to be taught with both academic rigour and place consistent emphasis on practical application of what I learn to construction environment. After working in construction for industry for almost 2 years, and studying a bachelor’s degree I feel I am more than capable of completing Msc Project Entriprise with success as I have already experienced the rigors & dynamics of university education.

For setting directors’ remuneration, the board must form a Remuneration Committee. A prior approval from the shareholders of the members on the committee is recommended. However, when it is not possible for solid reasons, the members must be presented in the AGM to the shareholders for approval if they are already appointed. The following guidelines must be followed:
The Remuneration committee should help the board of directors in its responsibility for setting remuneration policies that are in line with the company’s long-term interests. The committee deliberates on and recommends remuneration policies for all employee levels in the company, but it should pay special attention to the remuneration of the company’s senior executives and the remuneration of non-executive directors on the board.
“Reggae means 'regular'”, by that Jamaicans mean that they are average people who undergo hardships. Music that was once about love and sex began to subside. The music then shifted in meaning and had more powerful lyrics about social and political inequality. To the reggae artists, this was the only way to get their points across and to be heard. It was away to express how they felt about these injustices and how it affected not only them but others in the country.
Reggae is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1960s. The term also denotes the modern popular music of Jamaica. Reggae greatly impacted the way Jamaicans identified themselves, it is said to have given the Jamaican people an identity and has a deep spiritual and cultural significance in the Jamaican society. Bob Marley is one of the most famous reggae artists and brought the musical style and genre of reggae to the western world and is enjoyed by all people of all ages.
