Job Offer-legally binding

[Teebs]

i have received a job offer sent to me by the recruiter acting on behalf of the new company. I have responded accepting the position with the pay and benefits outlined.

Do I still need to wait and sign a contract or is the email offer & acceptance legally binding?

Thanks

Thanks. Would the best advice be to wait until the contract arrives?

Interesting reading, thanks.

I've now received the conditional offer from the HR manager outlining the offer. I was always under the impression that I could now resign from my current position (when the paper contract is signed), but from reading online, it looks that it may be best to wait for the conditions to be 'met'?
(Conditions are just references, although the they've not asked for details of references yet).

Thoughts?
