DIGEST OF ARTICLE 17 CASE LAW
1. Article 17 states that an offer terminates when a rejection reaches the offeror. This is true whether or not the offer is irrevocable. Article 24 defines when a revocation "reaches" the offeror. Although article 17 has been cited,[1] there are no reported cases interpreting it.
