Overview

This manual is divided into two sections. The first deals with sale of goods and covers all major aspects of this subject, extending beyond the sale contracts for the supply of goods and services. The author deals with the essential concepts of property transfer and respective obligations of each party to perform its side of the contract and the remedies available in default. Statutory protection in its various forms is discussed and relevant statutory provisions are appropriately extracted for ease of reference. Particular attention is paid to such recent statutes as the Sale of Goods (Amendment) Acts 1994 and 1995, the Supply of Goods Act 1994, to the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contract Regulations 1994 and to the contribution of the European Union in this area. The second section, dealing with consumer credit, explores the Consumer Credit Act 1974, explaining its difficult concept with clarity. The practical focus of this part of the manual is evident in its incorporation of an illustrative hire-purchase agreement; default and non-default notices; some pleading precedents; and in the discussion of the relevant County Court Rules. In addition, the subject of credit card agreements is covered and appropriate consideration of the important cases involving time orders is also included.
