U.A. (Unilateral Agreement) Dalrymple

The U.A. (Unilateral Agreement) Dalrymple refers to a legal principle established in the case of Dalrymple v. The Queen in 1839. In this context, a unilateral agreement is a contract where one party makes a promise in exchange for an act by another party, without requiring mutual promises. Essentially, it means that a person can be bound by a promise if someone else performs a specific action based on that promise, even if the second party did not formally agree. This principle helps clarify situations where commitments are made based on one-sided offers.
