Thomas v. Ledger

In Thomas v. Ledger, 274 Mich 16, 21; 263 NW 783 (1935), the Supreme Court of Michigan stated: "In order that there may be a meeting of the minds which is essential to the formation of a contract, the acceptance of the offer must be substantially as made. There must be no variance between the acceptance and the offer. Accordingly a proposal to accept, or an acceptance, upon terms varying from those offered, is a rejection of the offer, and puts to an end the negotiation, unless the party who made the original offer renews it, or assents to the modification suggested." Quoting 6 RCL, p 608.
