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.
On the Monday morning Ali received both of the letters from Ben and Chet before Di could arrive to pay and collect the vase.

问答题Daniel had been the owner of a restaurant, which is named Daniel Restaurant, before he sold the restaurant to Eddy two years ago (‘the sale’).
Ever since the restaurant started business, all the food of the restaurant has been supplied by Mary. Mary has only dealt with Daniel regarding the sale and the settlement of the price relating to the food supplied to the restaurant.
After the sale, Daniel continued to work in the restaurant in the same way as he used to do. The name of the restaurant remained the same as before and Daniel was still the holder of the business certificate and the licence of the restaurant.
Last week, the restaurant failed to settle the price for some of the food. Mary had no knowledge that the business of the restaurant had changed hands and that Eddy was the true owner of the restaurant (‘the facts’) until Daniel told her the facts this morning for the first time.
Required:
In relation to agency law, advise Mary as to the proper persons against whom legal action may be commenced for the recovery of the price.
