| 单词 | Revocation of an offer |
| 释义 | 撤銷要約 A withdrawal or termination of an offer so that it can no longer be accepted. Generally, an offer may be revoked at any time before it has been accepted: Financings Ltd v Stimson [1962] 3 All ER 386, 1 WLR 1184 (CA). This is so even though the offeror has indicated that he will keep his offer open for a specified time: Cooke v Oxley (1790) 3 Term Rep 653. An offer will be revoked where the offeror (or his agent or any reliable third person) communicates to the offeree, in any manner (Re Brewery Assets Corp, Truman’s Case [1894] 3 Ch 272), his unequivocal (Manchester Diocesan Council for Education v Commercial and General Investments Ltd [1969] 3 All ER 1593, [1970] 1 WLR 241) intention to revoke the offer either expressly (Henthorn v Fraser [1892] 2 Ch 27 (CA)) or impliedly (Cartwright v Hoogstoel (1911) 105 LT 628). There is no ‘postal revocation rule’: Byrne & Co v Van Tienhoven (1880) 5 CPD 344. The so-called ‘unilateral contracts’ may not be revocable once an offeree has performed some of the acts. See also Acceptance; Consideration; Offer. 撤回或終止要約，要約因此不能再被接受。概括而言，要約可於接受前的任何時間被撤銷：Payne v Cave (1789) 3 Term Rep 148; Financings Ltd v Stimson [1962] 3 All ER 386, [1962] 1 WLR 1184, (芵國上訴法院)。就算要約人曾表示他將於指定時間內保持要約有效，要約仍可於接受前的任何時間被撤銷：Cooke v Oxley (1790) 3 Term Rep 653。凡要約人（或他的代理人，或任何可靠的第三者）以任何方式向被要約人明示或暗示，傳達他要撤銷要約的確切意向，要約可被撤銷。並沒有「郵遞撤銷規則」：Byrne & Co v Van Tienhoven (1880) 5 CPD 344。當受要約人已履行某些作為，所謂的「單方面合約」即不能被撤銷。另見 Acceptance; Consideration; Offer。 |
