Task 2
In this scenario, Mavis has made an invitation to treat, and Gladys has made an offer. However, a genuine acceptance has not been made. Mavis should have communicatedher acceptance to Gladys (this acceptance should have been communicated in the same terms as the offerwas made). No consideration was given and no terms of contract were agreed to. Ultimately, Gladys has changed her mind and withdrawn her offer.
