The Trader's Guide to the Law Affecting the Sale of Goods (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Trader's Guide to the Law Affecting the Sale of Goods

The law relating to the Sale of Goods has been codified by the Sale of Goods Act, 1893, and according to its learned draughtsman (mr. M. D. Chalmers), the object of this statute is to lay down rules when the parties have either formed no intention, or failed to express it. Moreover, the Act seeks to set out in one consistent whole the entire mass of law relating to its subject matter; that is to say, it endeavours to combine common law (judicial decisions) and statute law. But though the law has been codified by this enactment, yet the common law, as laid down by the judges, loses none of its force.

The primary object which the draughtsman had in view in framing the Sale of Goods Act, 1893, was to substantially reproduce, in statutory shape.
