Analysis of courts approach in cases of this nature The leading English case in Battle of the Forms is Butler Machine Tool Co v Ex-Cell-O Corporation [1979] 1 All ER 965. FACTS: Butler produced machinery tools. On the 23rd of May 1969 the plaintiff responded to an inquiry from Ex-Cell-O by offering a quotation of £74,535 worth of goods. Within the quote were Butler’s terms, that the seller’s terms would prevail over any terms submitted by a purchaser and a price variation clause. The goods were to be charged at the price ruling on the date of delivery. These goods were to be delivered in ten months time. On the 27th of May Ex-Cell-O placed an order for the machine at the stated price with their own terms. These did not include the price variation clause. Within the order was an acknowledgment slip, which was to be returned and signed by Ex-Cell-O. At the bottom of the slip, it stated “We accept your order on the terms and conditions sated therein”.

Expro and SPS however refused to pay the costs arguing that the contract was not enforceable because the additional terms in WPS’s acceptance had materially altered the contract.
