Shogunomics and the Battle of the Forms: United Breweries v. Bhanji
contract bar_exam beginner real_caseIn 2006, the Supreme Court of India decided United Breweries v. Bhanji, a landmark case on the battle of the forms in contract law. The facts were as follows: Bhanji, an exporter, and United Breweries, a beer manufacturer, were parties to a contract for exporting beer. The contract stipulated a term of 30 days for acceptance. However, Bhanji sent a purchase order after 60 days, which United Breweries accepted. The court held that the acceptance was ineffective as it came after 30 days of the offer.

What do you guys think? Does the decision seem right to you?
