Upon receipt of the fax, Sanyi Farm shipped 100,000 kg of tomatoes to Food Shop. The latter took delivery of the goods without any objection. On selling the goods Food Shop found that the quality of tomatoes did not meet the standard required and had to sell the goods at a 20% discount. Food Shop considered that there was no contract between the two parties, since its fax to Sanyi Farm did not contain the price, which was one of the essential factors to be an effective offer.
Required:

(a) Explain the legal nature of the fax sent by Food Shop. (2 marks)
(b) Describe the legal nature of the act to take delivery of the goods by Food Shop. (2 marks)

Did you know that London is one of the most multicultural cities in the world？ Here, there are about 300 different cultures living side by side. Forget tea and sandwiches, now it is more common for a Londoner to drink cappuccino for breakfast, and eat Thai food for lunch in the local pub. Let’s see how life has changed in Britain’s capital.
A India
Most people from India arrived in London in the 1950s and 60s. Now there is a strong Asian presence here – in the shops, markets and, of course, the restaurants. In fact, curry is Britain’s favorite takeaway meal. A typical family has a curry every two weeks, either delivered or bought ready-made from the supermarket. Indian people live all over London. Southall, in the far west of the city, is one of many places well known for its Indian culture.
B Poland
This community represents more than 1% of the UK’s total population and is growing rapidly. In London, many Polish people live in the Hammersmith area, in the west of the city. Here, there are several Catholic churches, and delicatessens which sell the country’s specialities such as beetroot soup (barszcz) or Polish cakes and snacks. Were they right to come？ Young Poles say they can easily earn three times as much money here as at home, where unemployment remains high.
C West Africa
West Africans – mainly from Ghana and Nigeria – have brought a wealth of languages, music and culture to the British capital. Many London markets sell their traditional foods like yams and different types of rice. A lot of Nigerians live in the south-east London area, in suburbs like Deptford.

Newspapers have one basic purpose – to get news as quickly as possible from their source, from those who make it to those who want to know it. Radio, television, and other inventions brought competition for newspapers, so did the development of magazines and other means of communication. However, this competition merely stimulated the newspapers to quickly make use of the newer and faster means of communication to improve the speed of their own operations. Today more newspapers are printed and read than ever before. Competition also led newspapers to branch out into many other fields. Besides keeping readers informed of the latest news, today’s newspapers educate and influence readers about politics and other important and serious matters.
Newspapers influence readers’ economic choices through advertising. Most depend on advertising for their very existence. Newspapers are sold at a price that fails to cover even a small part of the production cost. The main source of income for most newspapers is advertising. The success in selling advertising depends on a newspaper’s value to advertisers. This is measured in terms of circulation (发行量): How many people read the newspaper？ Circulation depends, to some extent, on the work of the circulation department and on the services or entertainment offered in a newspaper’s pages. But for the most part, circulation depends on a newspaper’s value to readers as a source of information about the community, city, country, state, nation, and world – and even outer space.

On top, cut all the hair away in the middle, but leave a piece at the front."
The young man was very surprised when he heard this, "But sir," he said, "I can't cut your hair like that!" "Why not？" Roger asked. "That's how you cut it last time."

Having found market conditions tough after the conclusion of the contract, Bulinger Store asked to decrease the quantity of goods, but Aishen Garment Co disagreed.

Therefore, Bulinger Store concluded an agreement with Conka Sales to transfer the rights and obligations under its contract with Aishen Garment Co.
Bulinger Store sent a letter to Aishen Garment Co, notifying it that the rights and obligations under the contract had been transferred to Conka Sales. Aishen Garment Co did not reply to the letter.
On 15 June 2012, however, Aishen Garment Co sent a fax to advise Conka Sales to be prepared for receiving the goods.

￡400 (excluding VAT) will remain constant. Her year end will be 31 March, and the first accounts will be drawn up
