Lapse of time - Termination of an Offer
Therefore offer of "lapses" that i.e. comes for an end robotically through operation about law whenever like:
- First is not accepted contained by such the stipulated time when any.
- Second is not accepted contained by that appears to the court to be the reasonable or sensible time for the period of which it should have been acknowledged like Ramsgate Victoria Hotel Co. v. Montefiove - such an offer to buy shares in a company could not be received at the end about the fifth month after the offer was made. As June - November obvious.
- Well it is an offer to sell property so then the property is sold to another party earlier than the offeree accepts the offer: such Dickinson v. Dodds than during which Mellish L.J. about the sale like equivalent to the offeror's death it means renders performance about the offer impossible)
