PART I.
FORMATION OF THE CONTRACT.
Contract of Sale.
1. (1) A contract of sale of goods is a contract whereby the seller transfers or agrees to transfer, the property in goods to the buyer.
The short title to this Ordinance is at the end, the sections having been renumbered by No. 8 of 1912 which also authorised such minor alterations in the grammar of the sections as were necessary to make the Ordinance as nearly uniform as possible with the Sale of Goods Act, 1893.
