Contract Law: Offer Termination

This document outlines key cases related to contract law principles of offers and acceptance. It shows that an offer can be revoked by how it was made, such as orally, even if not communicated to all offerees. It also illustrates that revocation only takes place when communicated, and it can take place through a third party, as established in cases such as Byrne v Van Tienhoven (1880) and Dickenson v Dodds (1876). The offer lapses if not accepted in the specified time.
