问答题Apt Ltd is a small independent book company, which specialises in publishing modern poetry. In January 2013 it signed a contract with a new poet, called Bel, to publish her second book of poems in August 2014. In March 2013, Bel won a prestigious award for her first book of poems, which had been published privately.
In the light of the fame which now attached to Bel, Apt Ltd launched an extensive advertising campaign publicising the forthcoming book. The campaign was expensive, costing £50,000, but it was successful in generating great interest. As a result, Apt Ltd won a contract to supply a large book club with 100,000 copies of the book, which would make them a profit of £250,000.
Unfortunately in May 2014, Bel informed Apt Ltd that she would not be able to supply the manuscript to it as she had signed a more rewarding contract with Cax plc, a very large publishing company.

问答题(b) revocation of an offer. (5 marks)

问答题OAO Office is a large company that sells office supplies to businesses in large cities and towns. In recent times the ompany has become less reliant on sales through retail shops and has concentrated on selling its products through lternative channels to market, such as the internet and direct postal sales. Two consequences of this have been an ncrease in the disposals of non-current assets, such as shops owned by the company, and acquisitions of land for entralised warehousing and other purposes.
At the most recent general meeting, several shareholders raised their concerns that OAO Office was buying and selling and for speculative purposes. Their view was that the directors were carrying out an unacceptable number of deals n real estate that would expose the company to unacceptable levels of risk. It was pointed out that the Charter of the ompany specifically confines its activities to selling office supplies. The views of these shareholders are supported by he fact that a significant proportion of the company’s income had been generated by transactions in real estate.
