What goods contracts are covered?

I15Sales contracts

1

A contract is a sales contract if under it—

a

the trader transfers or agrees to transfer ownership of goods to the consumer, and

b

the consumer pays or agrees to pay the price.

2

A contract is a sales contract (whether or not it would be one under subsection (1)) if under the contract—

a

goods are to be manufactured or produced and the trader agrees to supply them to the consumer,

b

on being supplied, the goods will be owned by the consumer, and

c

the consumer pays or agrees to pay the price.

3

A sales contract may be conditional (see section 3(5)), but in this Part “conditional sales contract” means a sales contract under which—

a

the price for the goods or part of it is payable by instalments, and

b

the trader retains ownership of the goods until the conditions specified in the contract (for the payment of instalments or otherwise) are met;

and it makes no difference whether or not the consumer possesses the goods.
