Analyzing the breach of contract claim based on the sale of a car and revocation of an offer.
Question
On 1st of May, Adam saw a car in a local garage with a price tag of N300,000. When he went in to buy it, the garage owner, Bala, laughed and said that the tag must have been wrongly labelled as the actual price of the car was N800,000. However, in the circumstances, he said he would split the difference and let Adam have it for N550,000. Adam asked for time to think about the offer and Bala said he could have three days. Two days later, Adam found out that his friend Chibuzor had bought the car from Bala for N700,000. Adam has decided to sue Bala for breach of contract. Advise Adam.
