0:06 generally governed by the same rule as a display of goods in a shop window

0:54 auctioneer was convicted of making an offer to sell and on broad worthy car
0:59 country to the road traffic act 1968
1:05 appeal was allowed on the same ground as Partridge risk attendant official vs
1:09 Bell what was that drowned when an issue related to auctions is in front of you
1:16 it is also important to consider auctioneers capacity
1:20 auctioneer while working as an agent of the seller makes an invitation to treat
1:26 auctioneer working personal capacity actually makes an offer
1:31 what if the seller removes the item after the highest bit but before the
1:36 auctioneer accepts it

1:37 seller in this case is under no obligation as the auction was an

1:43 invitation to treat
1:45auctioneer on the other hand may be obligated to sell as he made an offer to
1:50 sell to the highest bidder in his personal capacity
1:55 another situation where you must distinguish between an offer and an
2:00 invitation to treat is a request for a tender again it is a presumption that a
2:05 request for tenders is an invitation to treat

tender
2:45 in accordance with the defendants regulations however defendants
2:49 designated box into which the claimant standard was pleased with in the
2:53 deadline was not emptied until after the deadline
2:56 therefore the claimant standard was not considered general presumption
applied
3:03 here that the council was the defendant just made an invitation to treet and
the

3:09 flight club the claimant made an offer which was never accepted by the
3:13 defendant
3:15 however interestingly the defendant was held to have made a separate offer to
3:20 consider all tenders which were posted before the deadline
