Case Summary- Partridge v Crittenden [1968]
Facts of the case Mr Partridge is a defendant who advertised the sale of bramblefinches at 25 shillings each in a classified advertisement in the periodical, ‘Cage and Aviary Bird’. It was an offence under the Protection of Birds Act 1954 to offer for sale live birds including bramblefinches. Held Per Lord Parker CJ, a circular and advertisement could not be supposed to bind its author to sell to anyone answering the advertisement in an unlimited number of some product. Per Ashworth and Blain JJ the case of Fisher v Bell must be followed where the advertisement was not an offer for sale. Conclusion An advertisement in a newspaper is an invitation to treat.
