The Sale of Goods

The Sale of Goods

11th Edition

P. S. Atiyah

John N. Adams

Hector MacQueen

The latest edition of this influential book gives a full and critical account of the law of sale of goods in the United Kingdom. It has the rare distinction of being a textbook that is at once highly readable and of great authority.

This eleventh edition has been brought up to date with legislative and common law changes that have taken place over the last four years. In particular, it covers the changes brought in by the new Consumer Guarantees Directive which has required substantial amendment to the Sale of Goods Act 1979.  It also incorporates new material on software sales law and e-commerce law. Reflecting the increasing divergence of Scots and English law in this area, this edition again includes a treatment of the law as it applies in Scotland.

The Sale of Goods is suitable for undergraduate LL.B. options in sale of goods and commercial law including the University of London (External) LL.B. and also for postgraduate LL.M. courses in commercial law and international trade law. The book is also highly recommended for the Bar Vocational Course paper on sale of goods and provides an authoritative point of first reference for practitioners of commercial law.
