Question

On Friday, Billy mails Andrew an offer, which Andrew receives on Monday. On Tuesday, Billy mails Andrew a revocation, which Andrew does not receive until Thursday. Andrew takes no action when he receives the revocation. Meanwhile Andrew mailed Billy an acceptance on Wednesday that Billy receives on Friday. Is a contract formed, and if so, on what day?

Answer 1

Answer:

When Andrew sent his acceptance on Wednesday a contract was formed.

Explanation:

Andrew had recieved the offer on Monday and accepted on Wednesday, although Billy sent a revocation on Tuesday.

The onus for Andrew to receive the revocation on time is on Billy, a faster means should have been taken to notify Andrew of the revocation.

So the contract was formed on Wednesday when Andrew accepted the offer.
