I’ve fallen out with someone which I don’t really want to get into but it has led me to having a legal question.
I was emailing a friend, who thinks they’re a life coach – they ended up saying if I reply to an email, they will charge me £100 per hour to be my life coach. I replied that I don’t consent. They reply, I’ve consented and will charge me £100 per hour. I reply again, this is ridiculous, I don’t consent to you billing me £100 per hour. This goes on for a while, with the (ex)friend writing “thank you for choosing my services, that’ll be £100 per hour”.
This isn’t going to go any further, but could replying to an email in such a way ever imply consent to agreeing to services, especially one’s reply is “no, I don’t consent to enter a contract with you”?
Thanks
