Abstract
This chapter covers the importance of delivery. Section 27 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (SGA) presents the seller's basic obligation regarding the delivery of goods, which, the chapter argues, provides great significance to the passing of property from seller to buyer. If the seller wholly fails or refuses to deliver, they are in breach of contract; this allows the buyer to claim damages for non-delivery. The chapter also considers the situation wherein the buyer may reject the delivery and repudiate the contract. It examines how the Consumer Rights Act 2015 retains certain aspects of the SGA regime for consumer buyers.
