Jack is a property developer who is well known for
building residential developments. He recently built
cluster homes in an upmarket suburb in Cape Town. All
the cluster homes are built with the same size and layout,
and they only differ with the positioning of each cluster in
the complex. This development is brand new, and Jack is
marketing the development himself. Jack shows Gloria a
beautiful cluster home in the complex, which is next to
the guardhouse at the entrance of the complex. Gloria
immediately falls in love with this cluster home and a few
days later she as the purchaser signs the offer to
purchase document presented to her by Jack, who
completed all the relevant details on the document
relating to the description of the property. The document
is later also signed by Jack as the seller. However, it
subsequently turns out that the cluster home referred to
in the signed document is not the one that Gloria viewed
and fell in love with. The one she signed for and the one
she viewed are different properties. In fact, the cluster
home she signed for is right at the back of the complex
which she never viewed, and which is not in the best

binding contract was concluded with Gloria, in
accordance with the written signed document, for the
cluster home described in the document. Gloria

was signing for the cluster home that was next to the
guardhouse at the entrance of the complex. Apply the will
theory and the direct reliance theory and advise Gloria
whether she concluded a legally binding contract with
