Description
THE COURSEWORK TITLE
Andy wants to give his wife a special anniversary present and so asked a jeweller to provide a quotation for making up a gold and sapphire ring to an original design.
At the end of August the jeweller replied that the cost to make the ring in this design would be £750 and that the ring would take 4 weeks to manufacture. Because his anniversary was still some months away, Andy did not reply, instructing the jeweller to go ahead with the work at that price, until mid-October.
The jeweller has now been in touch with Andy and has told him that if we wants the ring, the price will now be £900 because the price of gold has gone up.
Andy thinks that the jeweller must do the work at the original price.
With full reference to relevant authority, advise Andy as to whether there is a concluded contract between him and the jeweller for the manufacture and supply of the ring - and if so, at what price?
