Summary:

Law of Sale of Goods: Sale of goods is a classical field of law and principles constituting it have been there forever. Developed as a text, this book studies the principles from a contemporary perspective, explores the relationship among them, and knits them together. Since sale is a special form of contract deriving many of its principles from contract law, the volume analyses several such principles. It also examines the conceptual underpinnings of ownership as sale is also a contract for transfer of ownership of goods. Dealing with conceptual and practical aspects of the subject, the book: discusses nature and formation of the contract of sale, ownership rights of the buyer, and transfer of ownership in goods, examines protection available to buyers, quality of goods as an important value consideration for buyers, delivery of goods, and duties and rights of the buyer and the seller, studies emerging concepts of contractual obligations in the fields of information technology, taxation, and Internet sale, Written in a lucid language with rigorous analysis of principles and an extensive appraisal of British and Indian cases, this textbook will be useful to students, teachers, and scholars of law as well as lawyers and taxation specialists.
