Please read the following case study and answer the questions set out at the end
Jag was going to have a barbeque party in his garden to celebrate his 40th birthday. He discovered the gas barbeque needed more gas so he phoned the usual supplier, Ed, who said he would deliver two bottles ‘on the usual terms’ as he has just a delivery from the manufacturer. These ‘usual terms’ include at delivery Jag signing a sales form which has printed on it in large letters,
‘your bottled gas supplier is not responsible for any loss or damage caused by any products sold’.
Unfortunately, one of the gas bottles had a leak in it and when Jag lit the barbeque some leaking gas ignited shooting flames on to the garden shed causing it to catch fire and explode. Additionally, Jag’s cousin, Sabba, who was standing very close to the barbeque smoking cigarette, suffered severe burns to her upper body.
After the accident, Jag decided to sell his Range Rover. On 12 September whilst at a business conference he met Zaffa and offered to sell it to him for £25,000. Zaffa said he would think about it and get back to him. Two weeks later on 26 September Zaffa made up his mind that he did want the Range Rover so phoned Jag that day. He could not speak to him as Jag was in a client meeting. Zaffa did not want to lose the car so left this message with Jag’s assistant,
‘happy to pay £25,000, deal done, call me back today’.
Two days later as Zaffa had not heard from Jag he sent him an email repeating what he had told the assistant. Although the email arrived in Jag’s inbox, he mistook it for spam and so without opening he just deleted it. On 30 September Jag sold the car to Samantha. Zaffa is furious when he discovers what has happened.
