Step 1: Area of law
The area of law is contract law focusing on the element of agreement.
Step 2: Principles of law
Contract law is defined as lawfully enforceable agreement between two or more people to a contract. An agreement also known as a promise consists of an offer and an acceptance. An offer is defined as indication of the terms upon which an individual is ready to be obligated. On the other hand, an acceptance is the agreement of the terms that have been offered. The parties associated with the agreement are known as an offeror or an offeree. The offeror is the one who makes the offer, and the offeree is the one accepts the offer (Curtin College 2014).
For an offer to be satisfied, there are rules to be considered. The offer has to be complete, promissory, intention to undergo a contract when accepted, and focused on an individual or a group. In addition,

Regardless of the diversity of their residency/ citizenship, the affected party can proceed to sue the corporation responsible for the damages caused by their staff and property; reason being that they are protected under the Constitution’s diversity of citizenship, and the privileges and immunities clause. Furthermore, these two constitutional clauses in addition to the commerce clause, dictate the court that the matter needs to be brought to.

P2 EXPLAIN THE LAW IN RELATION TO THE FORMATION OF A CONTRACT IN A GIVEN SITUATION
The offer and acceptance model is flawed- only an agreement is necessary. In order to fully comprehend this statement, we must first establish what constitutes and offer and what constitutes acceptance. “An offer is a statement by one party of willingness to enter into a contract on stated terms, provided that these terms are, in turn, accepted by the party to whom the offer is addressed”. Acceptance is “…an unqualified expression of ascent to the terms proposed by the offeror”. The “Offer and acceptance model” is based on the court’s adopt the “mirror image” rule of contractual formation.

The dissent argued that the corporate veil should be pierced in this case. The argument was that Westerlea was organized solely to benefit Defendant, not to operate as a separate entity.
