This case (Hyde v Wrench (1840) 3 Beau 334) demonstrates that acceptance of an offer Acceptance of offer that one had previously rejected will not necessarily allow a Contract to be formed.

The owner of an estate offered to sell for £1000. The buyer made a counter-offer of £950. The seller did not accept this offer. The buyer then offered the original £1000, but the seller did not accept. The court ruled that there was no contract in any of this; neither party had made an offer that the other accepted.
