Question

A owner of a parcel of land offers to sell it to B for PHP 3,000,000. The offer states: “Acceptance must be in writing and delivered to me at my address within 10 days.” B, who is abroad, mails a written acceptance on the 9th day; the envelope is delivered to A’s address on the 10th day. The parties intend to effect transfer of ownership by a deed of sale. In this scenario, when does the contract of sale between A and B become perfected under the Civil Code rules on acceptance?

Choose the Best Answer

D) The contract is void because sale of land must be evidenced by a public instrument to transfer ownership. C) Only upon execution and delivery of a deed of sale signed by both parties. E) Acceptance by mail is not valid unless it is delivered to the offeror’s designated address by hand. B) On the 10th day, at the moment A receives the acceptance within the 10-day period.
