A letter is properly posted when it is put into an official letter box or into the hands of an employee of the Post Office who is authorised to receive letters. It is not properly posted by putting it into the hands of a postman who is only authorised to deliver letters but it was reasonably expected to use post in this case because parties were in different cities even though he had received the offer in person. QUENERDUAIN V COLE, the offerror used telegram for conter offer but offeree responded by post I AC SENT DURIN HOURS BUT N DUE TO STAF [THE BRIM ED ON WHICH THE OTHER PARTY HAS ED: LAST SHOT ne Tool Co v Ex-cell-o T IF REQUEST FOR FURTHER I NFORM ATI ON Stevenson, Jacques & Co. v McLean ABOUT DETAIL OF IRON SALE) DEATH OF A PARTY :BRADBURY V MORGAN : IF THE PARTY IS AWARE AND NEITHER ACCEPTED BY REPRESENTATIVE: DUFF'S EXECUTOR'S CASE (QUERY Revocation of an of of it reaching communicated by po received by the off By DID NOT RECEIVE THE AC LETT.)- dissenting but not approved:Bramwell: unfairness One Scottish authority seems to support the proposition that a posted acceptance can be retracted by a more expeditious communication. POSTED AC RETRACTED?NO, just as the posting of the acceptance restricts the offeror's power to withdraw the offer, so it should restrict the offeree's power to revoke his acceptance.

Where revocation is by post it takes effect from the moment it is e offeree and not from the time of posting. Byrne v Van Tienhoven Thomas v BPE Solicitors [2010] EWHC 306, Blair J expressed the view that the postal rule is inapplicable to email communications, therefore an acceptance by email is not effective when sent, but only when received in the recipient?s inbox. This view is also supported by the decision of the High Court of Singapore in Chwee Kin Keong v Digilandmall.com Pte Ltd [2004] SLR(R) 594 on the basis that the receipt rule has greater global support and because email is a form of instantaneous communication quite distinct from the post.
