Each Concentrate revision guide is packed with essential information, key cases, revision tips, exam Q&As, and more. Concentrates show you what to expect in a law exam, what examiners are looking for, and how to achieve extra marks. This chapter, which focuses on the situation where a seller is able to transfer ownership of certain goods to a third party despite having no right to the goods, first explains the so-called nemo dat rule, which protects the true owner of the goods and the innocent purchaser gets no title whatever. It then considers several statutory exceptions to the nemo dat rule that protect the innocent purchaser. The chapter also examines how estoppel is applied, sale by a mercantile agent, void and voidable contracts, sale by a seller in possession after sale, sale by a buyer in possession after sale, sale of a vehicle acquired on hire purchase, the (now repealed) sale in market overt, and special powers of sale.

This chapter serves as an introduction to the English law governing sale of goods, along with relevant definitions. It introduces the common law of sale of goods and its subsequent codification by the Sale of Goods Act 1893, later consolidated in 1979 and which (following further minor amendments) is now the principal source of the law. It also considers some key definitions relating to sale of goods, before discussing the nature of a sale and how it differs from related transactions such as barter or exchange, bailment, agency, and hire-purchase.

This chapter examines how a buyer can get good title to goods where the seller’s own title is non-existent or problematic. It provides an overview of the rule nemo dat quod non habet and then discusses various exceptions to it, including estoppel, sale under the Factors Act 1889, sale under a voidable title, sale by seller continuing in possession, and sale by a buyer in possession. In addition this chapter compares the common law and civil law approaches to the problem and encourages a critical approach to the issues it raises.
