In December 2025, a well-known laptop manufacturer, Apricot Ltd., manufactured exactly ten limited edition laptops called ‘MockBook’, and asked members of the Royal Family to sign on each one of them. The company advertised that all income from selling these laptops would be directed to charity. On the 1st of January 2026, Apricot placed advertisements on ‘Google AdWords’, stating: ‘Special laptop sale for charity at Middlesex University, Hendon Campus, 15 January 2026, starts at 1pm. All of our models for 50% off, including our limited edition ‘MockBook’, sold for £5,000 instead of £10,000. All revenue goes to charity. Come early not to miss out!’. Middlesex University had been authorised by Apricot Ltd. to conduct the charitable sale. On the same day, Apricot also advertised their limited edition MockBook model on Facebook: ‘The first two who reply can buy a MockBook laptop for 50% off! £500 instead of £10,000’. Rose, a former customer of Apricot Ltd., replies, ‘I am happy to buy two of your MockBooks for £500 each.” One minute later, Josey, a tech shop owner, replied ‘I want 11 pieces please’. One minute later, Dane replied ‘10 laptops for me’. One minute later, a customer service representative of Apricot noticed that the advertisement should have stated ‘£5,000’ and not ‘£500’ to correctly reflect the 50% discount and immediately fixed it to show the correct price (£5,000). Not noticing this amendment, Rose immediately transferred £1,000 to the bank account of Apricot and sent the company the following message: ‘Thank you for your offer, I am so lucky to be the first respondent, I’m looking forward to receiving my two units, what a great deal and for such a great charitable cause!’. Josey, who noticed the correction from £500 to £5,000, immediately sent Apricot a message saying, ‘I’m happy to be the second respondent, please give me your bank account details so I can transfer you £55,000 for 11 pieces, I already have 11 customers who pre-ordered them so please be quick!’. Then, Dane wrote to Apricot: ‘I see that I am the third respondent, that’s a shame, but if the first or second ones don’t come through, I will pay full price, £100,000 for 10 laptops. If I hear nothing from you by tomorrow, I will assume that you accepted my generous offer’. Apricot did not respond to this message. Apricot ignored Rose because of her low offer, and ignored Josey because Josey asked for 11 laptops (while only 10 have been produced). An Apricot representative then decides that they are taking Dane’s offer but did not believe that they need to contact him as the deal reflects the retail price. Instead, an Apricot representative called Middlesex University, on the evening of the 14th of January 2026, and left a message on the University’s central answering machine instructing them to cancel the charitable sale of these 10 limited edition laptops because they intend to sell the laptops to Dane. However, no one at the University checks for voice messages, until the 16th of January, after the event. On the 15th of January, at 1:05pm, a Middlesex University Student Ambassador sold all 10 MockBook units for £5,000 each. Some new owners posted about their purchases on social media, and Apricot announced on their website that all units have been sold. Rose, Josey and Dane are very angry to hear this news.

Introduction This essay examines the contractual positions of Rose, Josey, and Dane in relation to Apricot Ltd.’s advertisements and subsequent actions under English Common ...
