Mr. A, a car dealer sells second hand cars. On Thursday last week, he placed an advertisement
in a daily newspaper which stated the following:
“Once in a lifetime, opportunity to own a one year old Nissan Caravan, low
mileage, Kshs.500,000 cash. The offer is valid for only one day and the car will go to the
first person who accepts it.”
When Mr. B saw the advertisement, he immediately posted a letter of
acceptance of Mr. A‟s offer.
Mrs. C also saw the advertisement and came to inspect the car after which Mrs. C offered Mr.
A a cheque of Kshs. 500,000. However, Mr. A refused to accept the cheque stating that another
potential buyer had already offered to buy the car.
Later in the day Ms D, another interested buyer telephoned Mr. A informing him that she was
willing to buy the car but asked Mr. A if he would keep the offer open until she could go to
her bank to obtain a loan. Mr. A accepted the request. However later, in the day, Mr. E,
another potential buyer said that he would pay Sh. 600,000 in cash for the car. Mr. A agreed to
sell the car to Mr. E.
On Monday morning, Mr. A received Mr. B's letter of acceptance. At the same time,
Mr. E returned to complete the transaction. However, in the afternoon Mr. E telephoned Mr. A
to say that he had second thoughts and he no longer wished to purchase the car.

relation to:
(a) Mr. A
