J. A makes an offer containing certain terms and

B purports to accept the offer but in doing

so modifies some of the terms.

In Hongkong, there is no contract if B

informs against C.A.

Similarly, there was

no condoning no ad idem

between the W.P.W. Co

and J.P.W.W. Probably there had been further correspondence, and the inference is that he bustled his modification of the Co's cross-section

"approved cross-section", which he was not entitled to do.

However, as the

cross-section has now been deposited representing the working agreement come between the parties, I should be inclined to

proceed with the proposed
