ABSTRACT
Within a contract course, the most likely topic to be discussed is liability under the implied terms in ss 12-15. The Sale of Goods Act 1979 is regularly used as an example of statutorily implied terms, and this discussion may well lead into a general consideration of the content of those terms. The terms concerning title (s 12) and sale by sample (s 15) will be considered less frequently than the terms relating to quality. If sale of goods is part of your contract course, you are likely to need to have a good understanding of:
vs 13 (compliance with description); v s 14(2) (satisfactory quality); and v s 14(3) (fitness for a particular purpose).
