Question 1
The case of Donoghue v Stevenson is crucial in determining when there is a duty of care in negligence. The existence of a duty of care due by the def
endant to the complainant is the first and most important ingredient; without it, no cause of action can be brought. This case can be regarded to have had a significant impact on the history and development of the tort of negligence (Castle 2003). From case we can understand that Donoghue sued in tort and not under contract law, to begin with, As per the court of law, if the negligence creates any damage or injury to the parties involved in the contract it can be considered a tort. The party who is affected can sue the other based on the available evidence. Previously, the plaintiff had to show some contractual arrangement, such as a sale of an object or an agreement to provide a service, in order to establish negligence. The case established that producers had a duty of care to the end users or customers of their products. “A manufacturer of things, which he sells to reach the ultimate consumer in the form in which they left him owes a responsibility to the consumer to take reasonable care,” Question 2

The fourth factor is intention to create a legal relationship, for the contract to became valid, it has the intention to develop legal relationship with the parties. Legal relationship can be called as the most important aspect that is related to the contract.
Courts consider commercial and business agreements in terms of monetary aspects and in the case of non-commercial agreements the court the considered the non-monetary aspects. Compared to non-commercial agreements it is not easy to find a solution for business agreements.
Question 3
When there is an offer, acceptance, consideration, and the purpose to create a legal relationship, a contract is formed. An invitation to treat, on the other hand, is simply a request for a proposal. An offer expresses a desire to enter into a contract, but an invitation to treat does not imply a desire to...
