UNPAID SELLER Seller: - A person who sells the goods or agrees to sell the goods is called seller. Unpaid: - It means payment is not made or without payment. In the above given case we can say that Miss Priya is the seller while Mr. Ravil is the customer or purchaser of goods. Miss Priya has sold jewelry worth 6 lacs to Mr. Ravil and in exchange received a cheque for the full amount. This cheque on presentment to the bank, was dishonored. Therefore Miss Priya becomes an ‘unpaid seller’. The term ‘unpaid seller’ is defined under Section 45(a) of the Sale Of Goods Act, 1930. It states that the seller of the goods is treated as an unpaid seller when the following situations are satisfied; a. The price for the goods is not paid in full by the buyer to …show more content…
She can also provide instructions to send the goods back during their transport. Even when the buyer becomes insolvent, an unpaid seller has a right of stopping the goods in transit. 3. Right Of Resale: The seller Miss Priya has full authority to resell the goods that were earlier provided to Mr. Ravil who has not paid for them. Since no payment has been received, Miss Priya can sell the goods to some other buyer. However, if part payment has been received from the party, the goods can be returned only to the original buyer. But in the above case Mr. Ravil has not made any part payment. An unpaid seller is considered the owner of the goods until not paid by the buyer. So Miss Priya has a right to sell her goods subject to the above conditions. 4. Right Of Delivery: The unpaid seller has a right of withholding the delivery of goods where the property that is the goods has not passed to the buyer. But in our case the jewelry has already been delivered to Mr. Ravil and hence the right of delivery cannot be utilized by Miss

Walker, Takem’s has the statutory law of contracts in his favor. In a contract, the seller and the purchaser have certain rights and obligations. Four basics must be met for a contract to be created (Chrisman, 2014). First, the offer has to be made. In the case at hand, the door-to-door salesperson made an offer of a computer to Ms. Walker. Second, the consideration has to be accepted. Ms. Walker accepted the offer to purchase a computer. The third step is capacity. The purchaser must be legally capable of entering into a contract; minors and the mentally incompetent are excluded in this case. Takem’s has given Ms. Walker the computer in exchange for her payments on her store account. Finally, the intention to enter into a contract has to be present. Ms. Walker signed a bill of sale, a security agreement, and a negotiable promissory note- which is an unconditional promise to pay a certain sum of money at a certain time in the future. Though Takem’s has the advantage to combat her claims, Tommy needs to ensure that his salespeople have not made any false statements or misrepresentations to Ms. Walker as this could have legal implications for the store and against the contract (Vaccaro, 1987). Ms. Walker is legally bound by the contract she agreed to in exchange for the computer; however if there has been any misrepresentations or false statements Ms. Walker may be able, with legal assistance, to call the contract into question
If a breach of contract is both material and opportunistic, the injured promisee has a claim in restitution to the profit realized by the defaulting promisor as a result of the breach. Liability in restitution with disgorgement of profit is an alternative to liability for contract damages measured by injury to the promisee.

In this assignment we will exam three case-studies and determine whether the best course of action would be litigation, ADR or criminal prosecution. In the first we look a case of embezzlement, the second is a case of product liability and the third involves a supplier providing non preforming goods. We will evaluate the specifics of each and determine the best course of action. Spoiler alert, some of these may involve more than one course of action.
This way an auction doesn't have to pay the individual until the following sale or when the last piece off property was sold. Make sure in the contract that it has a date that all personal property will be sold by.
The court had reason that appellants may have been guilty of fraudulent conversion, or of larceny by bailee if the theory is accepted that a vendor retaining possession of goods sold by him becomes constructively a bailee of the purchaser, and criminally culpable for a failure to deliver them to his purchaser. Appellants were indicted for larceny only, and of that they clearly were not guilty.
Were the items specially manufactured goods? Is the defendant to blame since the items cannot be sold at any other location? Is the verbal agreement for the sale of goods more than $500 enforceable?
...useless car to a junk yard to recover some loss, but the difference of the re-sale of the junk-car would be a significant loss. Though there were no adequate assurances to the contract, anticipatory repudiation is the only probable remedy for Jack. However, the outcome would weigh on the predominant factor test, which is met because Tom is covered as a merchant because he is operating in his usual daily business, and Jack is the buyer. The sole purpose of the contract was for Tom to sell Jack a car, and for Jack to buy a car from Tom. The UCC, though less stringent than the statute of frauds, does effectively regulate commercial transfers allowing the free market to operate without diminishing the integrity of trade.

Generally, risk and benefit pass to the buyer on transfer of possession and ownership (assuming these occur simultaneously). The general rule is that the risk and benefit pass to the buyer as soon as the sale is “perfecta”, meaning that the agreement is unconditional and the identity, quality, quantity and price of the thing sold are certain readily ascertainable. Because contracts vary, parties can expressly agree that risk and benefit will pass either before or after delivery. Nugent AJA in Islando Foods v Fedgen Insurance opined that the general position of the law was that risk passed to the buyer once the contract had been ‘perfected’, even where delivery had not yet taken place. However, the risk envisaged was the risk of damage through no fault of the seller, that is, the risk of damage by vis major, casus fortuitus or third party damage- not the risk of damage by a negligent seller.
the state is bound as a bailee in such cases even in the absence of contract for such a purpose. In case where the authorities have acted on mere suspicion and have seized the goods according to the procedure established under criminal procedure code. Then until the final decision of the court is declared the authorities have to act as a bailee of goods and the burden of proof is upon bailee to show that he has exercised reasonable care.
