6. As Cathy's father was not aware that her daughter is purchasing that bracelet for a mother by his card and the payment has been done to the seller is not the mistake of the seller also because the payment has been turned to him and he is bringing the bracelet but now as his father has realised the thing it can be categorised under voidable contract because it comes under non disclosure of material facts, it was mutual mistake and lack of knowledge or you can say that free will of her father and the contracting party came under the influence of the other.

7.Here Mr shek is the offeror and Mrs Leung is the offeree. offerer means a person who is offering something to you that means he is providing you your Mr shek is offering the flat and is selling the flat. Offeree who is is accepting the thing for some material object so here Mrs Leung is ready to purchase the flat that means is accepting that's why she is offeree.
