In Canada an offer to trade is legally binding. At least for the first sale of a erronous advertisement.
Legally speaking if a company posts a screaming good deal in a flyer or advertisement they have to honour the first sale, but after that may make corrections.
This has been tested in court.
Also, if you make an offer and accept a response by mail, the second the response hits the mailbox (NOT the postmark) it's considered accepted.
So if you offer to sell something, to person A who who responds via mail but sell to person B before the letter gets to you you're legally bound to make person A whole.
This too has been tested in court.
This is why you now see legalize at the bottom of flyers now which says the in store price is the valid price if disagreements pop up.
- eru 12y agoCouldn't airlines put some fineprint into any offer, that they are not actually selling you a straight up flight ticket, but a flight ticket that comes with the option for the company / obligation for the customer of a buyback at the price paid (or, say, 110% of the price paid)?
