Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball 1893

facts: D (carbolic smoke ball) placed an advertisement in a newspaper concerning their products, stating that any person who purchased their product and used it accordingly to instructions but still contracted influenza would be entitled to £100. The company further demonstrated its sincerity by placing £1000 in a bank account to act as a reward. C (Mrs Carlill) bought the smoke ball and despite proper use, contracted influenza and attempted to claim the £100. D contented that the advert was an invitement to treat rather than an offer to enter into a contract, as it was mere “puff” and the offer couldn't have been made “to the world”. As C had not provided acceptance and there was no consideration, the issue lies whether the advert was an offer or an invitation to treat.

issues: OFFER OR INVITATION TO TREAT

Held:

The court of appeal found FOR C, as the advert amounted to the offer for a Unilateral contract by D. 

by completing the instructions (Mrs Carlill did not intend to get Influenza and used the products to prevent it) accordingly, it provided acceptance.

The proper use of the balls was also determined as consideration, so all aspects of a contract have been fulfilled.

The court further found that as D’s advert claimed sincerity through reserving £1000, it negated the company’s assertion of lacking intent. Moreover, an offer could indeed be made to the whole world.

Overall, D’s product advertisement was an offer due to the actions taken not only by C (use of ball properly, purchase of ball) but also by D (demonstrating sincerity of £1000 reserve)

-------------

my own thoughts on this was how by following instructions of a particular product, you are entering into a contract as it constitutes as acceptance and consideration. Furthermore, the fact that D has set aside money means that they did in fact intent to pay in case someone contracted influenza. If it was only an invitation to treat that they wouldn't have needed to pay the fine, and so they wouldn't have needed to set aside the money.

Hope this helped!

This is one of the cases vital to a law degree in the topic of contract law! good to start learning it ahead of time!

Briefing Paper : Glen v. Club Mediterranee, S. A.

The issue in the case pitting Glen v. Club Mediterranee, S.A was to establish whether the act of state doctrine barred Glens from recovering their property. The case was heard and determined by the district court and upheld by the court of appeal that Glens’ property recovery was not possible since the act of state doctrine barred them.

What the act of state doctrine provide

The act of state doctrine is a rule or a provision created by the judiciary that precludes the courts of the land from making inquiries into the validity of diverse public acts where a recognized foreign sovereign power is committed or exercised within the territory (Bankas, 2005). The rule prevents any court in the US from declaring official acts performed within its territory invalid. The application of this doctrine is evident in the case pitting[PS3]  Glen and Cuban government where the government gained possession of Glens’ property under the act of expropriation.

The ethical nature of the move by Cuban government and Club Med

Indeed, the taking over of Glens property by the Cuban government was done in an ethical manner and as the law provides. The government took over the property to serve the public interest and promote quality service delivery (Cheeseman, 2013). The move was ethical since it is backed by a legal provision known as expropriation that allows governments to take over property without the owner’s consent.

On the other hand, Club Med also acted ethically given that the joint venture agreement entered with the government was mutually driven. Club Med signed the deal knowing that the government was the owner of the property at the moment as presented. 

The meaning of expropriation

Expropriation is defined as taking of a private property by the government or a private entity authorized by the government to serve the public interest (López, 2014). In most nations including US, the law allows the government to take property through eminent domain. This can be done without just compensation or the owner’s consent.
