watch, Y have returned the watch to X, but Y does not know about the
notice (offer), will there be any contractual relationship between X and Y??
Also, does postal rule apply to instantaneous methods, like telex, voice
message and e-mail?? is it true that when the offeree accepts the offer and
communicate to the offeror by instantaneous methods, the contract will be
valid only if the offeror receives the message of the offeree?
thanks a lot!!
but does past consideration appear in this case? Past consideration apply in the situation that when an act is done voluntarily and subsequently an agreement is made to perform that act in return for a promise.
However, in this case, the agreement is not subsequently made, as the advertisement is posted by X before Y have returned the watch. Also, Y is acting on what the offer (Aadverisement) says, and therefore it is not a past consideration. Am i wrong?
P.S. Y does not know about the offer but still acting on what the offer says, is there any acceptance of Y here?? thanks!!
