The Employment Tribunal erred in concluding that the parties entered into a contractually binding agreement by which ownership of a car would transfer from the Respondent to the Claimant upon the termination of his employment. Although the Employment Tribunal did not err in deciding that a proposal described as a ‘gift’ was an offer, one of the ingredients of a contract, it erred in concluding that the Claimant could accept part of the Respondent’s offer insofar as it related to the car while seeking to improve upon other parts of the offer. The claim was remitted to a different Employment Tribunal to consider the Claimant’s contention that the parties entered into an oral agreement for the transfer of the car at a meeting on 30 May 2018.
