Explanation / Answer

A) The offer for reward creates Unilateral contract.

A Unilateral contract is a contract in which one party promises a person, who undertakes certain action for completing the project as per the needs and reqirements of the first party also known as "Promisor", for some consideration like reward or money. The promisor makes a promise to pay whosoever do the task but under specified boundries prescribed by promisor. However, the second party is under no binding obligation as they only have to fulfill the task if they want to.

B) Cid do not have any right to take any action against Ace Ltd. This is because it was clearly specified that - 10000 Euro reward for an employee who can design the solution for the Brag problem before 1 april. And not being an employee of the organisation he was not supposed as well as obliged to do the task. And hence his action will be non enforceable under law.

C) Ed do have the right to take any action against Ace ltd. because of two reasons:-

1) He has completed the task.

2) He is the employee of the organisation.

Although he could not exercise his right because of the fact that he didn't notified the company about the completion of the project and prior to that the company itself decided to cancel the project. The contract in only enforceable under the situation where the offeree finishes the task and reach out to the offeror under the given terms and conditions. And say for example, if 10 people are solving the problem, the company is going to pay to only single person who comes with the efficient soution first. As a matter of fact, company is not going to pay all 10 people in this case.
