Law of Sale of Goods and Hire Purchase

The author of the present work is popular for his characteristic simple and lucid presentation of the subject and this book on law relating to Sale of Goods & Hire Purchase is no exception. This new updated edition of the book has been enriched with the developments that have come into being since the preceding edition. A good number of amendments have been incorporated into the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 which indirectly affects the Sale of Goods Act, 1930 also. A combined reading of the Sale of Goods Act, 1930; the Hire Purchase Act, 1972 and the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, (including topics like duty of carriers, onus of providing a burden of loss of goods, rights of carriers and insurers, scope of estoppel by negligence etc.) serves to act as a protective shield for the buyer of goods and hirer of services against manufacturers, sellers and providers of services. To enable quick access to the information, apart from a detailed 'Contents' given at the beginning, subject index has also been added at the end. The Table of Cases contains the necessary citations to enable easier reference to the original reports. A handy reference book which can easily be recommended to students preparing for professional examinations at any level. Even though the Sale of Goods law is an important branch of mercantile law, it extends its dimensions much beyond the commercial and the economic development and the social life in general. The book, thus, is of general interest and a must read for all those looking for a lucid exposition on the subject.
