¶ … Acceptance Business Legal Case

The author of this response is offered a business legal case and is asked to give an opinion on whether one firm has a case against another. The author of this report will offer a response and will back it up using arguments going either way.

If he truly did not want to deal with ABC anymore and the offer was still potentially valid, he should have told ABC it was off the table. ABC, even if it didn't stand up on judicial review, had every reason to believe the offer was still valid because Mr. Jones had not communicated retraction of the offer. The only reason that would not reasonably hold true under the law is that a month passed between the offer and the acceptance, and that is quite a long time (USLegal, 2013).
