Implied acceptance by the person to whom the offer is addressed. The condition for its existence: adopting a position whose indication of that acceptance leaves no room for doubt in the circumstances. - 211 - Civil Procedure - Expressing a reservation concerning acceptance. Does not constitute implied acceptance. - The judgment's reliance on the expert's report based on the proposition that silence concerning discussion of the prices is evidence of their acceptance, despite the reservation concerning discussion of the prices. Faulty inference.
Arabic original
القبول الضمني ممن وجه إليه الإيجاب. شرط تحققه: اتخاذ موقف لا تدع ظروف الحال محلاً للشك في دلالته على ذلك القبول. - ٢١١ - المرافعات - إبداء تحفظ على القبول. لا يعد قبولاً ضمنياً. - اعتماد الحكم على تقرير الخبير المؤسس على أن السكوت عن مناقشة الأسعار دليل على قبولها رغم التحفظ بمناقشة الأسعار. فساد في الاستدلال.
