QUESTION 1 1. Is It A Sale Of Goods? The Sale of Goods Act 1923 (NSW) (‘SOGA’) provisions only apply to contracts of sale for a money consideration, that is, a price. In addition, the SOGA does not apply to any transaction that is intended to operate as a mortgage, pledge, charge, or other security. In this way, the relevant sale of goods and services must be for a monetary sum, but must not be in the way of loan or mortgage. 1.1. Contract Of Sale And Goods Goods include ‘emblements’, which refers to crops that are annually produced by agricultural labour. Goods can fall into a range of categories, whether they are ascertained will affect Quentin’s rights. In this case, the rambutans are still to be acquired by Luigi after the making of the contract; hence, they are future goods. Consequently, Luigi may argue that, instead of a sale of goods, there is an agreement to sell. Although the rambutans may regard as future goods, it is arguable that the agreement to sell will still constitute a contract of sale. It will become a sale of goods once when the time has elapsed or the conditions fulfilled subject to which property in the goods is to be transferred. 1.2. Price Goods must be transferred for money consideration, where Luigi stated, “Buy 100 cases of these at $10 a box”; it is sufficient to argue that the price of the rambutans is clearly fixed within the contract. Therefore, the SOGA is applicable. 2. Has There Been A Breach Of Implied Terms? According to the fact, Quentin has purchased the rambutans from Luigi; however, the rambutans are not fit for their purpose, where the shopkeepers send them back. Also, the rambutans are defective in that they in green, which supposed to be red. 2.1. Have Any Implie... ... middle of paper ... ...the price account to THE COMPANY. Furthermore, on the presumption where the goods were existed and stored by THE COMPANY before the sale, and without the knowledge of THE COMPANY, the puddings have poisoned at the time when the contract was made; the contract is void. Accordingly, it is arguably that the goods are not in a deliverable state. Has The Risk Passed To Romeo? What Additional Information Are Required? 1. The period of storage for the pudding by THE COMPANY before delivered to Romeo. 2. Did THE COMPANY properly refrigerate the pudding before and during the delivery to Romeo? 3. Did THE COMPANY know the possibility of poisonous before or during the formation of contract? 4. How did Juliet store the pudding after the purchase? 5. How long did Juliet store the pudding before consumption? 6. Did Juliet consume other foods meanwhile ate the pudding?

    In the beginning of March the newly joint corporation, McKesson HBOC started a negotiating process with Oracle Corporation. Unfortunately for McKesson, the negotiations ended without a contract. On April 1 Bergonzi let Hawkins know that he found an offer that could be a good deal. The agreement would require McKessonHBOC to sell $20 million worth of software to Data General, along with a license and a right to return any inventory that was not sold during the period of 6 months. The corporation would also have to help Data General find customers for the product. In return, they could buy $25 millions worth of computer hardware. The contract was signed on April 5 the same year. The senior management thought that backdating the sales and purchases would raise the company's revenues up to the desired levels. In order to cover their actions, the company created a false delivery receipt that showed the date of the delivery as March 31, 1999, while in reality the product was delivered in April. Both, the information about the $25 Million purchase of hardware from Data General as well as the return agreement concealed from the public.

  • The Statute of Frauds and the Uniform Commercial Code

    820 Words  | 2 Pages

    The primary purpose of the “Statute of Frauds” (SOF) is to protect the interests of parties once they are involved in litigating a contract dispute (Spagnola, 2008). The relevant statutes are reliant upon state jurisdictions to determine whether the contract falls under the SOF, and whether the writing of the contract satisfies the requirements of the statute of frauds (Spagnola, 2008). However, all contracts are not covered under the SOF. In essence, for a contract to be deemed as legal by definition of the SOF, there must be verification of the following requirements for formation of the contract, which are as follows: (1) There must be least two parties to the contract, (2) There must be a mutual agreement and acceptance on the price to pay for goods and services offered, (3) The subject matter or reason for entering the contract, must be clearly understood by all parties to the contract, (4) and there must be a stipulated time for performance of duties under the contractual obligations (Spagnola, 2008). Lastly, there are five categories of contracts that are covered under the SOF, which are as follows: (1) The transfer of real property interests, (2) Contracts that are not performable within one year, (3) Contracts in consideration of marriage, (4) Surtees and guarantees (answering to the debt of another), and (5) Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) provisions regarding the sale of goods or services, legally valued over five hundred dollars ($500.00) (Spagnola, 2008).

  • Four Elements Of A Contract

    However, the fourth element, which is "legal object," may not be satisfied between Sam and the chain store because there was nothing in writing, nothing was “drawn.” An oral promise would make the contract invalid if the completion of that promise will take more than a year from the date of agreement. However, if the chain store has written proof confirming Sam 's promise, for example, advertisements, invoices that the store only prepares in the regular course of business after an oral promise for a product delivery has been made, a court may consider Sam 's oral promise legally binding. Then it would be considered a "primary obligation" (since there was a debt incurred in anticipation of the sale of his invention at their stores). In that event, the contract does not need to be in writing to be enforced since primary obligations are not within the statute of frauds. So if the chain store does not get their 1000

    The Stamp Act was an act that was passed by the British Parliament that was to go into effect on November 1st, 1765. This act was created to help pay the costs to govern and protect the American colonies. The Stamp Act required stamps to be placed on all legal and commercial documents and various articles. Many colonists did not want the act to be implemented. For that reason, Samuel Adams put together the Sons of Liberty to help abolish this law. Then the Stamp Act Congress was composed to completely repeal the act. The Stamp Act was one of the many taxes that the British Parliament put on the colonies as a source of wealth. This act made it necessary for colonists to put stamps on almost all written documents and other various articles.

  • Essay On The Stamp Act

    1010 Words  | 3 Pages

    “Awake! Save your liberty!” exclaimed B.W. (Copeland 196). While some people were horrified with the Stamp Act, others were completely accepting of this new act. Janis Herbert stated that after the French and Indian War, England had many debts, which obviously needed to be paid (3). England’s Parliament decided the American colonists needed to pay their debts for them. England went about this matter by raising taxes and requiring a stamp for 50 different documents (Gale Encyclopedia ¶ 2). Since America was not yet a country, and had no representation, they were stuck with whatever law Parliament passed. Why weren’t the thirteen colonies willing to abide by England’s laws? Even though England was trying to pay off their debts from the French & Indian War, they went about it the wrong way, because they expected the American colonists to pay by increased tax dollars. This is an example of taxation without representation, because the American colonists didn't have representatives, or the opportunity to vote.

    In the Virginia Stamp Act Resolutions of 1765 the Virginia colonists state their grievances against the newly charged Stamp Act issued by Parliament. Patrick Henry creates a set of resolves against the Stamp Act to deem it formally unconstitutional in the colonist’s eyes. Henrys resolves address the issue of Parliament unjustly taxing the colonists. The five resolves state that the colonists should be treated as fellow Britons in the mother country and they should have the same “liberties, privileges, and immunities.” They are Englishmen and should be treated as such. The Virginia Resolutions to the Stamp Act were crucial in the development of the idea of independence for the American Colonists because it created the principle of no taxation without representation and the understanding that Parliament was running unconstitutionally.
