(i)This problem is based on communication of acceptance.
- As a general rule, the mode of effecting acceptance is immaterial so long as the offeror receives the same.
- In this case it appears that there is a contract between Arnold and Ben as Ben writes to Arnold accepting the offer, provided the letter was actually received by Arnold.
(ii) In the second instance, there is a contract between Ben and Arnold as Ben communicated acceptance by telex and to the extent that Arnold received the same, there is a valid contract between the two.

(Solved)
The “Harbinger,” a newspaper of wide circulation recently published an educational article in one part of its columns “the close structural resemblance between man and the gorilla.” It illustrated the point by two photographs. One was a man in a wrestling pose with the caption “Hamisi Nduati not fundamentally different from the gorilla in physique.” Mr. Hamisi Nduati has realized that the photograph was taken in one of his wrestling contests which he won. He alleges that he enjoys international reputation as an outstanding wrestler and he therefore argues that he has been defamed. He comes to you for legal advice.
Advise him.

(Solved)
Kamau advertised the sale of his farm. He was approached by Keter who wanted to buy the farm. In the course of negotiating the price. Keter asked Kamau how many sheep could be reared on the farm and Kamau replied, “I have not used the farm for sheep rearing but I think it could support 2000 sheep.”
Keter bought the farm and immediately purchased 2000 sheep to rear on it. However, the firm is unable to accommodate the 2000 sheep and Keter is aggrieved and intends to sue Kamau for misrepresentation.
Advise Kamau.
