Manchester Diocesan Council for Education v Commercial and General Investments Ltd

Last updated

Manchester Diocesan Council for Education v Commercial and General Investments Ltd [1970] 1 WLR 241, [1969] 3 All ER 1593 is a case in English contract law relating to agreement. The court held that the method of acceptance prescribed for a tender, if not expressed "in terms insisting that only acceptance in that mode shall be binding", [1] was not mandatory, and if an offeror wishes it to be mandatory this needs to be made explicit.

This case shows a type of acceptance whereby the method of communication of acceptance is prescribed. [2]
