FactsSteel nodes delivered to defendants after letter of intent to buy, but no formal contract had been concluded because the claimants refused to use the defendants’ terms, and negotiations took so long. No agreement was reached on progress payments and liability for late delivery, and defendants refused to pay because of lateness and nodes coming out of sequence. They had, however, been delivered. JudgmentRobert Goff J gave three alternatives, so (1) intent letter could have been an executory contract, but was not because negotiations were going on (2) the defendants' terms were a standing offer accepted by beginning the work, but that was presumptuous (3) so the best solution is to allow restitutionary recovery for the value of the work done. The nodes were a benefit at the expense, See also{{Caselist agreement}}
