The following excerpt is from Blue Flame Propane Inc. v Triangle Three Services Ltd., 2007 ABQB 512 (CanLII):
The second case referred to by Save X was Biswanger v. Federal Grain Ltd. [1975] A.J. No. 47(Alta. C.A.). At issue in that case was how long an employer had left open an offer for a severance allowance. The court found that, by February, the offeree was in possession of the offer in sufficient detail to constitute a possible contract. The employee applied some 8 months later in October for the allowance and the court found that the offer was still open for acceptance at that time.
