Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of the Law of Sale of Goods The Sale of Goods Act, 1893, by which the law relating to the sale of goods was codified in the United Kingdom, has now been adopted, with slight modifications, in all the provinces of Canada except Quebec, the process of adoption having been completed by the enactment in Ontario of the Sale of Goods Act, 1920. Prior to the adoption of the stat ute there existed, especially in Ontario, a considerable body of case law. This case law is of course now authoritative only so far as it is consistent with the statute; but for the most part they are' in accord with each other, and the de cisions furnish useful illustrations of the statute. The arrangement of the statute is followed in the main, but in some respects the scheme of the book has necessitated some change in the order of the statutory provisions. The design of the book is to make the statute more readily avail able and more useful in Canada, and references are given to a relatively large number of recent English and Canadian cases. The alphabetical index is supplemented by an unus ually full table of contents, and the comparative table of section numbers will, it is hoped, enable a reader readily to compare the statute in force in one province with that in force in any other province or in the United Kingdom.
