Abstract
The article examines the various contractual relationships arising on a typical sale by auction. First, there is a contract between bidders inter se, what can be termed as the “taking part contract”. Secondly, there is a contract between the auction house and each individual bidder. Thirdly, there is the sale contract itself which exists between the bidder whose bid is accepted and the seller. Fourthly, there is the potential for a separate (or collateral) contract to exist between auctioneer and highest bidder where the auction involves the sale of a lot without reserve. Each of these are discussed in turn as playing a valuable role in protecting the interests of both buyer and seller.
