Ten programmes in a Business Studies course

Offer, acceptance, consideration. How do you make a legally binding contract?
Written and introduced by Michael Molyneux
You may think that small, everyday things like going into a shop and buying a packet of cigarettes, or a newspaper, or a cup of tea in a cafe have little or nothing to do with law, but in fact each one of these acts constitutes a legally binding contract. Today's programme looks at the forming of contracts in everyday life.
These programmes are linked with the English Law series broadcast on Thursdays at 6.30 p.m. on Radio 3
