Since the founding of the European Coal and Steel Community following World War II, the EU has developed the aim to promote peace, its values and the well-being of its people. The democratic legitimacy of the EU has long been questioned – more so as successive EU Treaty amendments have limited the legislative powers of Member State governments by removing the national veto in decision-making, increasing the use of qualified majority voting and expanding the policy areas in which the EU has a role. The design of the EU means that policy-making at the European level is dominated by executive actors: national ministers in the Council, and government appointees in the Commission.
Dickinson v Dodds (1876) is the perfect case where revocation is displayed and when the offer has been successfully revoked. This is because the offeror can withdraw at any time before the acceptance , therefore , there is no contract between the Dickinson and Dodds unless there is deposit paid to the owner of the house. If A&M Ltd has revoked the offer like in Dickinson V Dodds (1876) case , then the company can withdraw the offer before the offeree accepts the offer which would be the suitable way for the company to avoid these situations.
Emma v A&M Ltd
According to E-Law Resources, contract is made when “Contractual agreement has traditionally been analysed in terms of offer and acceptance. One party, the offeror, makes an offer which once accepted by another party, the offeree, creates a binding contract.”(“Contract Agreement – Offer And Acceptance”)
A&M Ltd has recently employed Emma , the offer was introduced to Emma when A&M Ltd offered christmas bonus of £300 pounds if she worked extremely hard. The offer was accepted by conduct. This is because Emma has accepted the offer by working extra hours expecting to get the bonus by meeting her target. This is when the offer was accepted .
“ Acceptance is what turns a specific offer, made with the intention to be bound, into an agreement.”(Poole,2008,p.p55).
Consideration is an essential element of contract law , where Sir Frederick Pollock summed up consideration as \”An act or forbearance of one party, or the promise thereof, is the price for which the promise of the other is bought, and the promise thus given for value is enforceable.”Dunlop Pneumatic Tyres Co. Ltd v. Selfridges Ltd [1915]
