BACHELOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

Detailed explanation-1: -The test of a reasonable person is an objective test used by jurors or judges. When the offeror communicates an offer to contract, the offeree is not required to accept it, but she may choose to do so. Social agreements create legal obligations. Advertisements are considered invitations rather than offers.

Detailed explanation-2: -In an action for negligence, the reasonable man test asks what the “reasonable person of ordinary prudence” would have done in the defendant’s situation. Because this is an objective test, we do not care what was going through the defendant’s mind when he committed his act or omission.

Detailed explanation-3: -The reasonable person test is also used in contract law, to determine contractual intent, or if there has been a breach of the standard of care. The reasonable person represents a composite of a relevant community’s judgment, as to how a reasonable member of the community should behave in particular situations.

Detailed explanation-4: -An objective standard of reasonableness ascertains the knowledge of a person by viewing a situation from the standpoint of a hypothetical reasonable person, without considering the particular physical and psychological characteristics of the defendant.

Detailed explanation-5: -What is the reasonable person standard? The reasonable person standard refers to a hypothetical, average person’s reaction to the actual circumstances of alleged illegal activities such as harassment, negligence or discrimination. It serves as a comparative standard for courts to assess liability.
