About this Course

Business has many facets. One of its components is the exchange of goods and services for money or other assets. The concept of sale includes the transfer of property and ownership from one person to another, that is, seller to buyer. The definition of ‘goods’ has been a subject of interpretation over the years. Time and again, the courts have interpreted the word 'goods', based on the nature of the subject matter for sale.

The Sale of Goods Act, 1930 identifies and lays down the basic principles relating to transfer in ownership, passing or risk with ownership, how a buyer gets a good title, remedies of the buyer if goods are not sold to him, remedies of a seller if he remains unpaid etc. With the paradigm changes in trade and commerce over the years, the Act no doubt needs some major reforms, but nevertheless, its relevance lies in determining ownership in goods and rights and duties of buyers and sellers.
