Assignment Task: Scarlett's business "nettoyer les pattes" is doing incredibly well and she has leased a small premises in her suburb. She enters into a contract with Sofia's Shampoo Supplies ordering 1000 500 ml bottles of "Willows Washing" a tender shampoo and conditioner which is "soft and gentle for precious cats".
The goods arrive the following Monday and when she is receiving the new stock, she discovers that Sofia's Shampoo Supplies delivered 1001 bottles of the shampoo. Sofia's Shampoo Supplies did not invoice her for the extra bottle.
Scarlett immediately rejected the order because in her mind it did not meet the exact contract requirements.
Sofia's Shampoo Supplies Solicitors Django & Associates writes to Scarlett stating that unless she receives the order, they will sue her for breach of contract.
