Top 4 Cases Every Law Student
Carbolic Smoke Ball Co. v. Carlill
The question of what defines a contract—which will be
addressed later on in this list—lies at the heart of this
case. Carbolic Smoke Balls were a quackery cure for the
flu back in 1891 when Britain was towards the end of a
pandemic that killed almost a million people globally.
You had to put a tube up your nose and connect it to a
rubber ball that contained carbolic acid, which would
make your nose run.
Despite using the Carbolic Smoke Ball daily, Mrs. Carlill
contracted the illness. The Carbolic Smoke Ball Co.
advertised that it would pay a £100 reward to anyone
who developed one of the increasingly common
influenza colds.
cold-related illness after using the ball three times per
day for two weeks and that it had deposited £1,000 with
the Alliance Bank in Regent Street as proof of its
sincerity. However, when Mrs. Carlill asked for her
money, they refused. The court ruled that they and Mrs.
Carlill had a legally binding contract and ordered them to
return the money.
