Sample question
Sample question · Contract
Leah Patel visits a large self-service supermarket in Leicester run by Valemart Ltd. The shelf-edge label beneath a 55-inch television reads '£49'. The correct price is £490, and the label is a clerical error. Leah lifts a boxed television from the shelf into her trolley and takes it to the checkout. The till scans it at £490. Leah says she will pay only £49, the price on the label. The store manager apologises for the error but refuses to sell the television for less than £490. Leah insists that a binding contract at £49 was made when she took the television from the shelf.
Which of the following best describes the legal position?
- A A contract at £49 was formed when Leah took the television from the shelf, because the shelf display was an offer which she accepted by selecting the goods.
- B A contract at £49 was formed because the shelf label was a unilateral offer to anyone who brought the television to the checkout, and Leah accepted it by doing so.
- C No contract was formed, because the shelf display was an invitation to treat, Leah made the offer at the checkout, and Valemart was free to reject it.
- D A contract at £490 was formed when the cashier scanned the television, because the price recorded at the till, not the shelf label, fixes the terms of the sale.
- E A contract at £49 was formed because, under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, a trader is bound to sell to a consumer at any price that it displays.
Show the answer
The rule: displaying goods for sale with a price, including in a self-service store, is generally an invitation to treat, not an offer. In Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain v Boots Cash Chemists (Southern) Ltd [1953] 1 QB 401 the Court of Appeal held that the customer makes the offer by presenting goods at the cash desk, and the contract is made only when the shop accepts that offer there. The same approach applies to goods in a shop window (Fisher v Bell [1961] 1 QB 394) and to most advertisements (Partridge v Crittenden [1968] 1 WLR 1204). The reasoning is practical: a shop must remain free to decide whether to sell, for example where stock runs out or a price is wrong.
Application: the label was an invitation to treat. Leah made an offer to buy at £49 when she presented the television at the checkout. The manager's refusal was a rejection of that offer, so no contract was formed and Valemart is not obliged to sell at £49. C is therefore the best answer.
A is wrong: on the Boots analysis, putting goods into a basket or trolley is not acceptance. The customer can still put them back, and the shop has not yet agreed to anything.
B is wrong: Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball Co [1893] 1 QB 256 shows that an advertisement can be a unilateral offer where it clearly promises something to anyone who performs a stated act, but an ordinary price label makes no such promise and shows no intention to be bound to all comers.
D is wrong: scanning the goods is part of dealing with the customer's offer, not acceptance at a different price. Leah never agreed to pay £490, so there was no agreement on price and no contract at that figure.
E is wrong: the Consumer Rights Act 2015 governs the terms and performance of consumer contracts once they are made; it contains no rule that a trader must sell at whatever price it displays. A pricing error may raise separate consumer-protection issues, but it does not turn the display into an offer.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is the PGDL?
The PGDL is the law conversion course for graduates whose first degree is not in law. It covers the seven foundations of legal knowledge and usually takes one year full time or about two years part time.
How are PGDL exams assessed?
Each provider sets its own assessments. Many use single best answer questions like SQE1 for part of each module, with written exams, coursework or oral assessments for the rest.
Which subjects do your PGDL questions cover?
Contract, Tort, Criminal Law, Public Law, Land Law, Equity and Trusts, and EU Law, in roughly equal numbers.
Will this help with SQE1?
Yes. The questions follow the SQE1 single best answer style, with five options and one best answer, so they also build the technique you need for FLK1 and FLK2.
