This case (Neale v Merrit [1930] WN 189) demonstrates that for an Acceptance of offer to be support the creation of a Contract the acceptance must be on the terms of the offer.

Merrit offered to sell some land to Neale for £280. Neale replied by post enclosing an initial payment for £80 and a promise to pay the rest in monthly installments. Merrit rejected this payment, claiming that he wanted the full amount or nothing. Neale tried to enforce the egreement, but the court held it void, because Neale had not accepted the offer on the terms expressed.
