The essential elements required to establish a binding contract include offer and acceptance, consideration, intention to create legal relations, and capacity. In this scenario, there was an offer (John selling the car), acceptance (Peter agreeing to buy the car), and consideration (the £5,000 cheque). Therefore, a binding contract was formed.
Key Point: The formation of a contract requires clear elements, including offer and acceptance, to ensure both parties are legally bound by the agreement.
