Details

The fourth edition of this established and highly-regarded work is the most systematic study available of the law of sale of goods with reference to UK and Commonwealth authorities and relevant UK and EU legislation.

A distinguishing feature of the work is the depth of treatment of problem areas, providing clarity on the law. It provides full coverage of content, interpretation and performance issues relating to sale of goods agreements. The book also addresses the relevant aspects of consumer law, as well as issues such as recoverability of damages, currency and interest.

The work has been updated in its fourth edition to cover all recent developments in caselaw, most notably The Supreme Court in PST Energy 7 Shipping LLC v OW Bunker Malta Ltd (The Res Cogitans) [2016] UKSC 23 which has given rise to a new category of contract: the sui generis supply contract, for which no statutory model yet exists. Also examined in depth is the Consumer Rights Act 2015, which has profoundly affected the structure of sales law and, in a number of key instances, has also affected the substance of the law.

This work remains the leading work of scholarship and an invaluable reference for all practitioners and scholars working in the field.

Reviews

Review(s) from previous edition

"Very good and up to date; fills a gap - R Asarioris, University of Southampton

"...Sale law stands at the intersection of contract and personal property law. Professor Bridge has a thorough understanding of both...Professor Bridge brings two further strengths to his work; first an understanding of international commodities tradin' secondly, and perhaps most important, knowledge of the history of sales law...this is a thorough, scholarly and clearly written exposition of the law...On the whole this is a thoroughly admirable and scholarly piece of work-as, indeed, one would expect from its author. It deserves to take its place alongside the established major works on sale...Serious students of the law of sale at all levels will find much in it of value... " - Robert Bradgate, Univ. of Sheffield, Lloyd's Maritime and Commercial Law Quarterly

"...It gives an in depth analysis of the law relating to the sale of goods and is also written in a style that undergraduate students find easy to understand " - Tony Walmsley, University of Teeside

"...The book covers in detail all the topics one would expect, including sufficient background information on general contract law where appropriate. It is clearly written and logically laid out. It works well as a basic point of reference... " - Lloyds List

"The Sale of Goods is a serious text on sales law that no practitioner interested in this area of law should be without" - Student Law Journal (www.studentlawjournal.com),
