Publisher: Oxford University Press, 1998

This book is a systematic analysis of the modern English law of domestic sale of goods, covering in detail the following aspects of sale of goods contracts:
* formation and definitions
* passing of property and risk
* mistake and frustration
* contents of the contract and implied terms
* delivery and payment
* termination for breach
* exclusion clauses
* remedies and transfer of title.

Full treatment is given to proprietary matters and the significant reforms which have taken place in recent years including the Sale and Supply of Goods Act 1994, and the Sale of Goods (Amendment) Act 1995. The general law of contract is dealt with as it affects the special contract of sale, but
export sales materials are treated only to the extent that they illustrate delivery and payment. The paperback edition also includes a new preface designed for the student reader, covering recent developments in the sale of goods. This thorough and comprehensive book will be a valuable resource for
students of commercial law as well as academics and practitioners working in the area.

Review:

"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 slae 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...''
