Butler Machine Tool Co. v. Ex-Cell-O Corp. (1979) is a key case in contract law concerning the issue of offer and acceptance. The House of Lords ruled that a counter-offer negates the original offer, thus the original terms were no longer valid once Ex-Cell-O presented their counter-offer. This case highlights the importance of clearly communicating acceptance and the potential for misunderstandings in negotiations. Ultimately, it reinforced the principle that a valid contract requires clear agreement on terms by both parties.
