- HCA8357/1991
The offer exchange did not create a binding contract because the offer letter was expressly "without prejudice and subject to contract" and Mable Road did not accept; First Pacific's appointment expressly disallowed making binding commitments without the owner's prior written consent so First Pacific had no authority to bind Mable Road; no warranty of authority was given and no actionable negligent misrepresentation was proved; therefore the plaintiff's claims fail and the action is dismissed.
