A proposal is an offer if it is made in such a way that the person to whom it is made has only to accept it to bring the contract into existence. 2. The three requirements of a valid offer state that both parties must hold a genuine interest in the contract, both parties must be set out and adhered to in full.

Pat could argue that signing the Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance/Corrective Action Plan as an implied contract protecting his employment with NewCorp. Critical information in this case needs to be further reviewed to assess the risks and rights of both parties in this scenario.

Many courts have implied the existence of a contract based on the ideas and presence of promises, policies, and procedures that are written into an employee personnel manual or other such document. These documents have been held as employee contracts based, in part, on the fact that the information contained within the document was presented to said employees at the beginning of their employment. According to the LAW531 text, a factor determining the contract status of a personnel manual or similar document’s terms is the employee reliance upon such terms (Jennings, 2006). It is my belief that this case clearly gives NewCorp reason to worry over the possible contract status of the personnel manual. If held as an implied contract, Pat would definitely possess grounds for a wrongful termination suit.

Thus, a person who seeks to enforce a promise must have paid or obligated herself to pay money, delivered goods, expended time and labour, or forgone some other profitable activity or legal right. For example, in a contract for the sale of goods the money paid is the valuable consideration
Addressing International Legal and Ethical Issues Simulation Summary What are the issues involved in resolving legal disputes in international transactions? The first thing to consider when dealing with legal issues in international transactions is to choose the proper contract for the country and company you are dealing with. You need to know if the contract will be enforceable and under which circumstances it will or will not be and which country it will be enforceable in. All countries have different laws in how and whee they handle legal disputes and making the contract so it covers all of these issues is very important so it can be enforced if problems would occur.
