Case Lab 01

Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball Co

[1893] 1 QB 256 · Contract

Judgment sealed

Opposing Counsel

Your position depends on treating a public advertisement as a contractual promise to an undefined class.

Explain why the bank deposit shows legal intention rather than merely strengthening the advertisement.

A different way to study

The answer comes last.

Sanctum Lex starts with the student’s position, then makes that position earn its way forward through challenge, review and oral defence.

01

Take a position

Read the facts, identify the issue and commit to an argument before you ask for help.

02

Face opposition

Opposing Counsel isolates the assumption doing the most work and asks you to defend it from the record.

03

Answer the bench

Judicial Review stops advocating for either side and focuses on what actually survives scrutiny.

04

Compare with the court

Only after the exercise is complete does the historical judgment open, so you can compare your reasoning with the court’s.

The casebook

Foundations and the law as it stands now.

Move from the authorities that establish the doctrine to modern appellate decisions that test, refine and sometimes recast it.
