Question 1 - Sale of Goods
Answer (A)
The Sale of Goods Act is an Act which was passed by the Parliament of New Zealand in
1908. It controls the sale of goods which are purchased and traded in New Zealand. It also
manages the binding contract between both the parties(Parliamentary Counsel Office,2017).
Answer (B)(i)
In the given case, there is a contract of sale of goods. According to Section 3 ‘Sale and
agreement to sell ‘of Part 1 of Sale of Goods Act 1908, when the goods are transferred or have
been agreed to transfer by seller to the buyer for a monetary value known as price, then it is a
contract of sale of goods. It also mentions that a contract of sale must be executed amongst the
two parties.
Answer (B)(ii)
As per Section 3(4) ‘Sale and agreement to sell ‘of Part 1 of Sale of Goods Act 1908,
when the transfer of goods takes place in the future or it is subjected to fulfillment of the
conditions , it is known as an agreement to sell (Hubbard, Thomas & Varnham, 2012).
It becomes a sale upon the elapsing of time or fulfillment of conditions upon which the
property is to transferred.In the given case, when window would be fixed by Lisa on the
following Monday, the conditions of the agreement to sell have been fulfilled. It has become a
sale prior to the determined day, so Paul has become the owner of the shed.
