Benjamin's Sale of Goods provides comprehensive coverage of case law and legislation regarding sale of goods in the UK and globally. First published in 1868, this title is a must-have purchase for commercial practitioners, academics and barristers. Part of the Common Law Library, this title has established itself as the premier publication on sale of goods and is frequently cited in court for its depth and coverage.

This new 10th edition takes in major changes to the law since the previous, most importantly: * The Res Cogitans case: a highly significant decision that means a supplier of goods reserves title to them pending payment, but permits the recipient to consume some or all of those goods before the property passes, then the contract is not one of sale at all. Benjamin's Sale of Goods up-to-date new edition guides you through this case law and its implications for those working in this area. * The Consumer Rights Act: this extracts from the Sale of Goods Act all provisions that apply only to consumer sales and also in many but not all instances disapplies the Sale of Goods Act when the contract is a consumer sale.
