Elements of a Contract

The fundamental criteria in a contract from the eyes of law:
1) Offer
2) Acceptance of the offer
3) Intention to create legal relations
4) Consideration
5) Certainty
6) Capacity
7) Legality
8) Free Consent

I won't be discussing about all the elements, but several parts which I feel is interesting enough to be shared will be made available below.

OFFER - Anything and everything must begins with an offer, from the usual asking someone out to dinner, to the larger life questions such as 'will you marry me'. Without an offer, how would someone agree on anything, even if it was not mentioned, but understood with a nod of two between individuals, but most likely one person has an offer (idea) in his head, and the other person who nods back is accepting that offer (idea).

ACCEPTANCE OF THE OFFER - Many people including myself never knew about this, the display of goods on the shelf. I always assume that it is there as an OFFER, and if we take it and purchase it, that means we are accepting the offer or the likes. In one way, it is true, but if you were to look into the details of it, taking the item off the shelf does not mean you are accepting the OFFER, rather, it means you are accepting the treat. Displaying items is merely an INVITATION TO TREAT, where the REAL OFFER happens at the cashier.

CERTAINTY - The element of ambiguity must be eliminated here, things such as 'Mr. Simon G. Smith's son' or 'as long as I wish' are the main cause, as there are no certainty. Take xxx's son for example, what if he has few sons, which son are you referring to, you might be referring to the eldest son while I was thinking it was the youngest son, the court for one doesn't even know which son, hence it needs to be specific, xxx's eldest son Mr. ****.
