Question

Aishwarya · Answer

no B cannot sue A as communication of acceptance against the offeree is completed once it comes to the knowledge of the offeror since here A ' s revocation was received by B before the acceptance was delivered i.e on 3 rd revocation is valid

Krishika · Answer

No, B cannot sue A for the car as communication of revocation reaches first to B thus acceptance would be null and void as revocation would be absolute.

Sagar · Answer

But section 5 says that "A proposal may be revoked at any time before the communication of its acceptance is complete as against the proposer, but not afterwards" And "Communication of an acceptance is complete, as against the proposer, when it is put in a course of transmission to him, so as to be out of power of the acceptor" (Reference to section 4) Then, why B can't sue A for the car🤔, by referring section 4&5...!! Please🥺 explain...I am totally confused...!! 🫤
