Abstract

This case comment analyses Carlill v. Carbolic Smoke Ball Co. (1893), a landmark decision on unilateral contracts. It examines the issues of offer, acceptance, consideration, and contractual intention arising from advertisements, highlighting how performance constitutes acceptance and how inconvenience or commercial benefit may amount to valid consideration in contract law.
