ADMIN
[COMPANY NAME]
, Jack is a property developer who is well known for building
residential developments. He recently built cluster homes in an
upmarket suburb in Cape Town. All the cluster homes are built with
the same size and layout, and they only differ with the positioning of
each cluster in the complex. This development is brand new, and
Jack is marketing the development himself. Jack shows Gloria a
beautiful cluster home in the complex, which is next to the
guardhouse at the entrance of the complex. Gloria immediately falls
in love with this cluster home and a few days later she as the
purchaser signs the offer to purchase document presented to her by
Jack, who completed all the relevant details on the document
relating to the description of the property. The document is later also
signed by Jack as the seller. However, it subsequently turns out that
the cluster home referred to in the signed document is not the one
that Gloria viewed and fell in love with. The one she signed for and
the one she viewed are different properties. In fact, the cluster home
she signed for is right at the back of the complex which she never
viewed, and which is not in the best position in the complex. Jack is
of the view that a legally binding contract was concluded with
Gloria, in accordance with the written signed document, for the
cluster home described in the document. Gloria approaches you for
legal advice as she thought that she was signing for the cluster home
that was next to the guardhouse at the entrance of the complex.
Apply the will theory and the direct reliance theory and advise
Gloria whether she concluded a legally binding contract with Jack,
based on the written document that they both signed, for the cluster
home described in the document. Discuss fully and refer to case law
in your answer. Do not apply the Consumer Protection Act 68 of
2008
