Brogden v Metropolitan Railway Co (1877) established that the conduct of parties can constitute acceptance of an agreement. When Brogden supplied coal to the railway company despite not formally agreeing to new terms, the court held that their actions implied acceptance, creating a binding contract.
Acceptance by Conduct: The case established that acceptance of a contract can be inferred from conduct. Even without formal acceptance of new terms, Brogden's continued supply of coal implied agreement, illustrating that actions can signify contractual commitment.
