1. Introduction of Passing Property Time and Risks under 1979 Sales of Goods Act

            In the UK, the contracts are regulated with the provision of an act, which is called the English 1979 Sales of goods Act. This law is used in regulating the contracts that how goods will be bought and sold. In the UK, when this law was passed, it changed the landscape for dealings of consumers, especially, if they have bought anything from a seller, and it is proved that good/product was faulty. It is true that common law has already drafted the formation of contract provision so it was not something completely new to the legislation, but this law came with various provisions, which did not exist earlier.

1.1 Aims and objectives of Passing Property Time and Risks under 1979 Sales of Goods Act

The basic purpose of introducing the sales of goods act was to ensure that confidence of consumer is enhanced so that they can feel that they are well protected by the law in case they are deceived in a contract. So, the basic drive to introduce this law was protecting the rights of consumers so that they can trust while buying anything from anyone. It is said that before the introduction of this act, things were not that well for the consumers, and they were not protected as they should have been. The legal contract of selling and buying are driven by this law, and sellers have to be more careful while selling anything, because consumer rights have increased with the English Sales of Goods Act 1979. This paper will analyze the law with its basic elements and then few numbers of cases will be discussed and reviewed to see how things were handled in real-world with real cases keeping this law in context.
