Hi, I am looking for someone to write an article on common law: the law of contract and unilateral contract Paper must be at least 4000 words. Please, no plagiarized work! “Unilateral contract” according to legal dictionary.thefreedictionary.com, “is a contract in which only one party makes an express promise, or undertakes a performance without first securing a reciprocal agreement from the other party.”The same is applied in the case under study, where Scrumptious Ltd. had made an express promise without first securing a reciprocal agreement from the public and masses.

Q1: In the case above-mentioned, both the parties to the contract take after the situation as the court verdict announced by the court of law in the case of Callil v. Carbolic Smoke Ball Co., where it arises the question of a specific and general offer.

Specific offer: A specific offer is an offer which is made by the offerer to a particular person, firm, or company, and no other person has any concern with it, nor any person other than the offeree, can accept that offer. “In Boulton v. Jones (1857) 2 H & N 564”, Sachdeva & Gupta state, “A bought a business to B. C to whom B owned some money ordered to supply him certain goods. Instead of B, A supplied the goods. C refused to pay because he intended to contract with B only. Held, the offer was made to B only and he alone could accept it.” (2002: p 15)

General Offer: General offer is the offer which is made to the world at large, and in which the contract is not made to one person only. But the prize and reward, offered by an individual or company, cannot be given to the entire world. Rather, the first person who performs first all the terms and conditions of the proposal is considered as the person having the right of getting the prize or reward announced, determined, or advertised.

The most prominent case on the subject of the general offer includes Carlill v. Carbolic Smoke Ball Co. (1893) 1 Q. B. 256. “In this case”, Shukla notes, “the Company offered by advertisement a reward of £100 to anyone who contracted influenza after using their smoke ball for a fortnight according to printed directions.
