In the context of at least one example (but no more than two examples) of services provided in the 'sharing/access economy' (such as Airbnb or UberX), when is a contract formed between the customer and the person providing such a service?
In answering this researching question, your essay must discuss:
-the general contract law principles for offer and acceptance, including for online contracts and contracts created via a smartphone app;
-the process and procedures through which the customer and the person providing the service interact; and
-when in the process an enforceable contract is formed.
General Guidelines:
Consider the judicial approaches adopted in cases such as MacRobertson Miller Airline Services v Commissioner of State
Taxation(WA) (1975)133 CLR 125 and Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain v
Boots Cash Chemists (Southern) [1953] 1QB 401 in relation to how innovative
courts may need to be in applying the traditional offer and acceptance analysis.
