Mistake of Transmission/Translation Flashcards
Mistake of Transmission/Translation
Offer, as it’s received, is operative unless person who receive it knows or should have known there is a mistake in it
Ex: a noticeable price difference
Face-to-Face Interaction
Moti and I have a face to face interaction, but I accept it an hour later. This contract does not stand because I left.
Anytime your current interaction ends, it is seen as a rejection of the offer (unless said otherwise)
Phone call acceptance
Problems give rise to rules. If there is an acceptance on a phone call some courts may say yes others may say no.
Own employee
If your own employee sends the acceptance, it is accepted upon receipt
If an agent sends the letter, it is accepted upon dispatch
