Sale of Goods Act, 1930

This authoritative volume contains the full text of the Sale of Goods Act, 1930, presented with practical headnotes and drafting aids to convert statutory provisions into actionable legal practice. The Act defines “goods” and “contract of sale”, distinguishes a sale from an agreement to sell, and sets out rules for transfer of property and risk (including rules on specific and unascertained goods). It codifies implied conditions and warranties (merchantability, fitness for purpose, lawful title), governs delivery, acceptance and payment, and prescribes remedies for breach — including the unpaid seller’s rights (lien, stoppage in transit, right to resale) and buyer remedies (damages, specific performance in limited cases). Also covered are special topics such as auction sales, sale by sample, and performance obligations where goods are to be ascertained by seller or buyer. Carefully indexed with a concise table of contents, sample sale clauses, checklists for pleadings and a cross-reference to allied commercial statutes, this edition is a practical desk companion for advocates, in-house counsel, traders, contract drafters and students preparing for professional exams.
