Performance of the Contract of Sale of Goods and the Remedies

The buyer and seller perform the contract by carrying out their respective duties in accordance with the terms of their contract. Section 27 of the Goods Act stipulates that it is the seller’s duty to deliver the goods and the buyer’s duty to accept and pay for the goods as provided in the contract. In this chapter we analyse what constitutes performance and the remedies available to the parties in the event of a breach by the other party.
