Entores Ltd v Miles Far East Corporation (1955)
Miles Far East Corporation, a Dutch company, made an offer to supply cathodes
to an English company, Entores Ltd. Entores Ltd made a counter offer to buy the
cathodes at a price of £239 10s a ton. The offer was "accepted' by Miles
Far East Corporation sending a Telex from Holland. The issue before the court
was "Where was the contract made?'. This was important because Entores Ltd
wished to sue Miles Far East Corporation in the English courts but could only
do so if the contract was made in England and not in Holland
H : The contract was made in Holland
