INSPIRE HOLDINGS LIMITED v JSM PROPERTIES LIMITED [2022] NZCA 136

- Court of Appeal
The court concluded no binding contract was formed because Inspire's deletion of "(if any)" in Version 3 constituted a counter-offer rejecting JSM's Version 2, JSM's 11 January email was equivocal and did not amount to a renewed offer, and there was no unconditional acceptance or objective intention to be immediately bound (parties had a practice of initialling amendments).
