Consumer Credit Law and Practice, para 27.1; Cranston, Consumers and the Law (3rd edn), p 449. 2 See generally, Atiyah, Sale of Goods (10th edn), Chapter 22; Benjamin’s Sale of Goods (5th edn), para 18-
247 et seq. 3 See Hill (1985) 5 Legal Studies 320. Many of the private rights to hold markets have passed to local
authorities; and the others are subject to planning permission. As to what is a market, see Kingston
introduced as a protection for public health7 or safety (see post, para 6.05) or other interests of consumers, as with the regulation of the supply of gaming machines,8 or door-to-door traders peddling goods,9 eg, home credit, or money (see post, para 6.09), or collecting donations for charity.10 Plainly, many of these forms of licensing could in their operation tend towards restraint of trade;11 and the administration of all such licensing systems is prima facie subject to control of the courts.12 The various types of licensing are analysed below (post, para 6.04).
