Conn. Civ. Jury Instr. 4.1-13
Irrevocable Offers - Option Contracts
The (offeree: defendant / plaintiff)1 claims that (he/she/it) had an option contract from the
(offeror: defendant / plaintiff). An option contract is a continuing offer to sell. It may not be
revoked until after the time period fixed by the agreement of the parties. If, for example, I give
you an option to purchase my bicycle for $200 for a period of two weeks, then I cannot revoke
the offer to sell the bicycle during that two week period, and at any time during those two weeks
you can accept the offer and purchase the bicycle for $200.
1 The term "offeror" and "offeree" have been inserted above as a guide. The charge should be
given in terms of the "plaintiff" or the "defendant," depending on which one is the offeror and
which one the offeree.
