Question 1 On 1st April, Bill posts an offer to supply a quantity of 25 special motor parts (adapted to suit Henry's specifications) to Henry for a price of $500 each. This offer reaches Henry on the 4th April. On the 5th April, Henry sends a letter to Bill stating: "Please advise if price quoted in your offer includes machining costs". In response the next day, Bill posts a letter to Henry stating: "The motor parts are $500 each including machining costs." This letter reaches Henry on 8th April. On the 10th April at 2pm, Henry sends a letter to Bill stating: "I accept your offer for 25 special motor parts at $500 each including machining costs." This letter reaches Bill at 3pm on the 11th April. However, on the 9th April, there is a change of plans by Bill. As a result, Bill sends a letter to Henry at 1pm on the 9th April seeking to cancel the earlier offer and stating that the price of the motor parts is now $600 each not including the cost of machining. This letter is received by Henry at 4pm on the 10th April. Is there a valid agreement between Bill and Henry for the supply of special motor parts? If so, what is it for? Justify your answer fully, citing case authority wherever possible. Question 2 A hypothetical Perth city by-law provides as follows: "No person shall, by speaking, shouting, singing or playing any musical instrument, or any act whatsoever, behave in such a manner as to cause obstruction to traffic."

Has Ben committed an offence under it? In answering the question, discuss and apply the rules of statutory interpretation. Question Three Prue retires from a firm on 30th June 2008. Unbeknown to her the firm fails to publish a notice of retirement in the local newspaper or the Government Gazette. The firm does however send a circular to its existing clients in June 2008 stating that Prue was retiring from the partnership on 30th June 2008. Jason became a client of the firm in July 2008. Subsequently he sued the firm for negligence and was awarded damages of $600,000. Upon enforcing judgment Jason is only able to obtain $250,000. Jason then discovers that Prue had been a partner of the firm. Can Jason now sue Prue and claim from her the balance of $350,000? Kindly send question one today as you already have it. Please note that the name of the characters is different however the question/case is same.
