A contract is said to be a valid contract only when both the elements (i.e. offer and acceptance) are present. The following report is going to interpret about the various essential elements that are necessary for the formation of a valid contract. In addition to this, various terms and types of contract are also discussed by considering the given case scenarios. In this report, various elements and types of liability are also mentioned.

  4. new stock will arrive in January. In lieu of which Ben became disappointed and he decided to file a case against him. 1.1 Essential elements for the formation of the valid contract A valid contract can be formed only when following elements are present in the contract. Thus, some of them are as follows:- Offer: Offer is the act of putting something in front of any other person with the purpose to sell it. This element is very necessary for the formation of a valid contract (Lim, 2014). Offer can be made for both the tangible and intangible goods. If, offer made by the offeror is accepted then in that case, the offeror is legally bound to follow the contract. Acceptance: Acceptance is the act of accepting the proposal by one party that is offered by another party. Acceptance can be in the form of oral or written. Once, acceptance has been accepted then in that case, a legal contract has been formed. Thus, as per the given scenario, Ben is not liable to file a case against the Sales Assistant of ARBOS as in the case; offer and acceptance were not made. If offer is accepted by any other person then in that case offeror is bound to follow the contract. But, in this case, no offer has been made by the sales man. Thus, if offer has not been made by the store then in that case, a legal contract cannot be formed. Thus, as per the law, a legal contract has not been formed between both the parties. In lieu of which, if Ben files a case against the sales assistant, he will not be able to get success.

  5. 1.2 Impact of different types of contract Bilateral contract: Bilateral contract is the contract that is formed by mutual trust and understanding of two or more parties who are obliged to perform the act. In this contract, both the parties are liable to follow the contract in an equal manner. Impact- In this type of contract, if any illegal practice is followed by one party then in that case, innocent party is liable to file a case against the defendant party. Unilateral contract: Unilateral contract is the contract in which only one party is liable to follow the contract and on the other side, it depends on the choice of another party if they need to follow the contract or not (Miceli, Segerson and Wang, 2015). Impact- This type of contract can be cancelled at any time. But, if acceptor has started performing it then in that case a contract cannot be cancelled. Collateral contract: Collateral contract is formed by the parties in order to protect the interest of original contract. Main aim of forming this contract is to protect business relationship against the fraud made by any party. Taking into consideration the above scenario, it can be concluded that a unilateral contract can be formed between Sales assistant and Ben. Thus, in this case, it is the choice of sales assistant to decide whether he wants to sale out TV to Ben or not. 1.3 Terms of contract Express term: These are the provisions that are expressed into contract at the time of forming contract. Express term can be included in terms of oral or written form at the time of forming contract. Implied term: Implied terms are the terms that are included in the contract but are not at all expressed at the time of forming contract (Nijem and Galpin, 2014).

  7. cost that may incur at the time of replacement or repair of the faulty product. It also states that they are bound by the contract for its full duration. 2.1 elements of the contact as per the given scenario As per the given scenario three are three basic elements that have taken place Offer: - In this case an offer has been made by AOBOS sales assistant for the sales of the laptop to Mrs. Carol. Thus, in order to form a valid contract availability of an offer is very necessary, which has been made by the ARBOS sales assistant. Acceptance: - As per the case an acceptance has been made by Mrs. Carl to purchase the laptop which was offered by ARBOS sales assistant (Overgoor and et.al 2015). Therefore, again in order to legal/valid contract availability of acceptance is necessary, which was made by Mrs. Carl. Moreover, in can be said that a valid contract can be formed between ARBOS sales assistant and Mrs. Carl because both the elements that are required for the formation of a valid contract was present. Intention to create a legal contract: - As per the given case there was a legal intention of ARBOS sales assistant to create a legal contract. Sales assistant has offered the contract to Mrs. Carl to sign it. But it was the Mrs. Carl mistake that she haven't read the contract and simply signed. Sales assistant has given her full liberty to read the contract and then sign it. Therefore, as per the case study a valid contract has been created between both the parties with an intention to form a legal contract. Hence, it was the Mrs. Carl mistake that she hasn’t read it. Thus, it can be concluded that Mrs. Carl is no longer liable to force the sales assistant to repair or replace the laptop. 2.2 Law on terms of different contract There are three types of terms that are included in the contract. These terms are present into the contract in order to make a contract a valid contract. Different terms of contract are as follows:- Toll Free No. +44 203 3555 345 Mail Us: help@globalassignmenthelp.com Best Data Mining Assignment Help by experts of Global Assignment Help, all documents are 100% unique and error free.

Express term: - these terms are expressed and included into the contract at the timed of its formation. These terms can be expressed in footing of oral form or written form. Thus, as per the given scenario it can be concluded that the condition of express term arises into the contract because the contract has been formed out with mutual trust and understanding (Orne, 2015). In this ARBOS sales assistant has expressed and included each and every clause in the contract before hand which could be read by the Mrs. Carl. But it was the Mrs. Carl mistake that she hasn’t made efforts to read the contract once before signing it.

  9. But in this case the injured party (Mrs. Carl) is no longer liable to claim a sum a compensation from the ARBOS sales assistant for the damage caused to her. Because it was her mistake that she haven't read the contract before signing it. Task 3 On the basis of the cited case scenario David was the passenger of popular bus company named as ''Express lines''. As per the case bus driver was continuously driving without taking any rest. According to the guidelines of Bus Company driver must park and take rest after the every five hours of driving. Through this, they are able to drive the bus with the more caution. Nevertheless, bus driver had avoided the guidelines and drive continuously without taking rest within the duration of seven hours. Due to this aspect bus got crashed because driver had not taken the rest and continuously driving for the seven hours. Legs of David were heavily injured due to crashing or accident of bus. Due to this personal injury, David is not able to work for the upcoming two months. 3.1 Contrasting liability in tort and contractual liability There is the high level of difference exist between the contractual liability and liability in tort. Contractual liability take place only when then parties to contract fails to perform their roles and responsibilities as per the predetermined roles and responsibilities. In contrary to this, tort liability occurs when competent parties had not performed their roles and responsibilities according to the legal standards (Brack, 2014). In addition to this, in contractual liability damages and claims in relation to the compensation are analyzed or settled according to the deed of contract. However, in tort damages and claims are analyzed and settled by legal authority (Steele, 2007). In contractual liability both the parties to a contract mutually discuss or decide rights and obligation of each other. Whereas in tort liability responsibilities and obligation of the parties are determined by the legal authority (Platz, 2007). In contractual liability, innocent party does not have need to satisfy the principle of negligence to take compensation from the defendant party Toll Free No. +44 203 3555 345 Mail Us: help@globalassignmenthelp.com Best Data Mining Assignment Help by experts of Global Assignment Help, all documents are 100% unique and error free.

  10. for the loss or damages (Howie, 2014). On contrary to this, in tort liability innocent part requires satisfy the principle of negligence in against to the defendant party. After sanctifying the aspects of negligence innocent party is able to get compensation for the loss from defendant party. 3.2 Starting the nature of liability in negligence Negligence may be defined as a situation or condition in which employer intentionally neglects health and safety aspects which may cause of injury to another person. As per the negligence act employer has the liability to make proper health and safety arrangements for their employees. Through this, they are able to prevent accidents or injuries within an organization (Tadros, 2014). In addition to this, employee has the right to make sue upon the employer for the damages which are suffered by them due to the negligence of employer. According to the case scenario bus was crashed due to continuous driving of bus. Express lines had introduced the policy that driver must take rest after the driving of every five hours. Such policies provide relaxation to the driver and there by enable them to drive the bus with the more caution. This aspect helps Express line in prevent the accidents which may occur due to the continuous driving. Bus driver had totally ignored such aspects and drive continuously for the seven hours without taking any rest. Due to this, accident was occurred and problems are suffered by the passengers as well as bus driver. According to the negligence act Express Line had made proper health and safety arrangements for their employers by introducing the policy. As per the case scenario, employee neglected the safety guidance which is communicated by the company. Thus, it is the mistake of the employee so they are not in the position to make sue upon the employer for the damages. Therefore, Express line is not accountable for the injury of bus driver thus they are not liable to give compensation to the bus driver. In addition this, bus company is not liable for the damages of David. Thus, innocent or injured party can claim for the compensation in against to the bus driver rather than the company as per the negligence act (Uddin, 2015). 3.3 Ways through which business or employer can be vicariously liable Vicarious liability consists of the situation in which employer is accountable for the irresponsible or undesirable act of their employees. According to the vicarious liability act Toll Free No. +44 203 3555 345 Mail Us: help@globalassignmenthelp.com Best Data Mining Assignment Help by experts of Global Assignment Help, all documents are 100% unique and error free.

  11. employer needs to give compensation to the claimant for the illegal act of their employees (Ali and Kumar, 2015). Moreover, contractual relationship exists between the employer and employee. On the basis of this aspect employer can be held accountable for the omissions of their employees. According to the given scenario, David got heavily injured and there by unable to work for the two months. Due to this, he is not in the position to earn for the fulfilment of his daily needs. Sample Report on Aspects of law and negligence act For Complete Assignment Kindly Contact us at: help@globalassignmenthelp.com According to the case scenario Bus Company had informed their drivers but they totally ignored such aspects. In this, driver is not in the control of Bus Company. Thus, Bus Company is not held accountable for the damages of David. According to the legal framework or aspect David can get compensation when they make sue upon the bus driver instead of company. On the basis of vicarious liability Express lines does not requires to compensate the David for the damages which are suffered by him. In order to prevent such type of accidents Bus Company needs to introduce strict punishment system within an organization (Kodilinye, 2014). Through this, employees are hesitating to avoid the policies of an organization. Task 4 As per the given case study Elena was invited by the Bell hotel for interview.

No warning Toll Free No. +44 203 3555 345 Mail Us: help@globalassignmenthelp.com Best Data Mining Assignment Help by experts of Global Assignment Help, all documents are 100% unique and error free.

  12. has been provided to the visitors about the yet floor. Elena thinks to fill a case against the Hotel but she was worried that she was taking medication for a virus which should be taken with the food only. But on the day of interview she has taken the drugs without food. 4.1, 4.2 Elements of tort of negligence and vicariously liabilities Some of the elements of negligence that can be undertaken by the defendant party are as follows:- Necessity: - this element states that no employer is obliged to pay a sum of compensation to the employee if any injuring occurred to him due to any illegal or immoral act performed by him. Justification:- this element states that if any defendant party justify that the injury caused to injured party is not according to the his mistake than in that case defendant party is longer liable to pay any sum of compensation to the injured party (Raine, 2014). Thus, as per the Occupier liability Act the Bell Hotel is liable to pay the sum of compensation to the Elena for the injury caused to her due to the carelessness of Bell Hotel management staff. Because as per the Occupier liability act every business organisation is liable to provide the warning or notice to the area which can cause any injury to the person. The Occupier liability Act 1957 was formed for the betterment of the employee (i.e. injured person). According to this act defendant is liable to pay compensation to the injured party respective of the fact that was his mistake or not (Tadros, 2014). Similarly, this act was reformed in year 1984 it order to save the employer for the fraud claims made by the employee. Thus, as per the Occupier liability act and the given scenario it can conclude that it was the mistake of Bell hotel management staff. They need to place the warning notice at the reception area. Thus, according to the Occupier liability act Bell hotel management is liable to pay a sum of compensation to Elena for the injury caused to her. But if Bell hotel management staff is able to justify that it was not there mistake Elena fell down due to not taking drugs with the food. Than in that case Elena is no longer liable to claim a compensation for the damage caused to her.
