Facts of British car auctions (BCA) v Wright
The Claimant was selling a car in Un-road Worthy condition. The Defendant brought claim against the claimant by saying that it was illegal to sell such a vehicle under Road Traffic Act 1972.
The Claimant argued that he was not making an offer because Auctions are generally Invitation to Treat (ITT)
Issue:
Whether auctions are Offer or Invitation to treat (ITT)
Decision:
It was held that auctions are generally Invitation to treat (ITT), but when there is a condition that the highest bidder would get the product, then it is an unilateral offer
But that was not the case here so the claimant was not liable
