Author Description

This book gives a full and critical account of the law of sale of goods in the United Kingdom. The tenth edition has been brought up to date with legislative and common law changes that have taken place since publication of the 9th edition. It also incorporates new material of software sales law and e-commerce. Reflecting the increasing divergence of Scots and English law in this area, the book now includes a treatment of the law as it applies in Scotland. The new edition analyses the development of UK sales law as it moves away from its common law roots as a result of European and domestic legislation, and evolves along separate consumer and commercial law pathways. The prosects for e-commerce to provide a counter trend towards an international consumer common law are also examined in a completely new chapter on e-commerce law.
