Sales of goods Act

Has the purchase contract been completed? So are you asking about the warranty situation? Or are you asking about having entered into a contract with the seller and, before delivery, the seller declares bankruptcy?

And, in that situation, have you paid a deposit? Or the full amount?

I can’t answer your question with the little information you have given me!

Maybe the answer would be that the buyer should travel by bus if he can’t buy a bicycle.

Pritu, you need to give me more details

OK, it now depends on the specific contract terms. If this were a pure English sale of goods situation, title to the goods ( unascertained at the inception of the contract ) would pass when the goods had been unconditionally appropriated to the contract and the buyer had notice of that fact.

You mention shipping, so I suppose we’re facing an International situation. So it now depends on specific contract terms – was the sale Exw, Fob etc. these details / terms explain at what time risk passes and generally risk passes with ownership.

Again, Pritu, for me to give you an answer, I need to know the details within the contract about the timing of the passing of the title to the goods.

An interesting point – people tend to go bankrupt because they are not selling enough goods. Why would the bankrupt seller not want to deliver the goods ( presumably at a profit )?

Seems crazy to me!

You’re welcome
