Law of Sale of Goods and Hire Purchase (Old Edition)

This 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 around the buyer of goods and hirer of services against manufacturers, sellers and providers of services. 

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.
