Question

Is sale of goods act 1979 applicability in india?

Answer 1

This summary examines the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (“the Act”) within its context: why it was drafted, what are its important provisions, and how it has changed since it came into force. It is submitted that the Sale of Goods Act 1979 has been part of a change in consumer dealings, with its most significant contributions being to the rights consumers have where they buy products that turn out to be faulty. Indeed, its use has been so central to implied terms in particular, that one author has been criticised for failing to see the contribution of the Act to the law of implied terms.[1] At the same time, the Act’s importance has to an extent been diminished by the introduction of very recent legislation.
