问答题Chi, Di and Fi formed an ordinary partnership to run an art gallery. Each of them paid $100,000 into the business. As Fi had no prospect of raising any more money it was agreed between them that her maximum liability for any partnership debts would be fi xed at her original contribution of $100,000. The partnership agreement specifi cally restricted the scope of the partnership business to the sale of ‘paintings, sculptures and other works of art.’ In January 2010 Chi took $10,000 from the partnership’s bank drawn on its overdraft facility. She had told the bank that the money was to fi nance a short-term partnership debt but in fact she used the money to pay for a holiday. In February Di entered into a $25,000 contract on behalf of the partnership to buy some books, which she hoped to sell in the gallery.

问答题Ali is an antique dealer and one Saturday in November 2007 he put a vase in the window of his shop with a sign which stated ‘exceptional piece of 19th century pottery – on offer for €500’.
Ben happened to notice the vase as he walked past the shop and thought he would like to have it. Unfortunately, as he was late for an important meeting, he could not go into the shop to buy it, but as soon as his meeting was finished he wrote to Ali agreeing to buy the vase for the stated price of €500. The letter was posted at 11:30 am.
Later on the same day, Chet visited Ali’s shop and said he would like the vase but was only willing to pay €400 for it. Ali replied that he would accept €450 for the vase, but Chet insisted that he was only willing to pay €400 and left the shop. However, on his journey home Chet realised that €450 was actually a very good price for the vase and he immediately wrote to Ali agreeing to buy it for that price. His letter was posted at 12:30 pm.
Just before closing time at 5 pm. Di came into Ali’s shop and she also offered €400 for the vase. This time Ali agreed to sell the vase at that price and Di promised to return the following Monday with the money.
