4) TRANSFER OF PROPERTY IN GOODS AS BETWEEN SELLER AND BUYER & RISK
The property in the goods is defined to be transferred from the seller to the buyer when the latter acquires the proprietary rights over the goods and the obligations linked thereto. 'Property in Goods' which means the ownership of goods, is different from possession of goods which means the physical custody or control of the goods. Otherwise , a person may be in possession the goods passes to the buyer because of the consequences flowing which a goods remain at the seller’s risk until the property therein is transferred to the buyer, the goods are at the buyer’s risk irrespective of whether delivery has been made. It is related with the section 26 in Sales Of Good Act.

While the main engine was being loaded on a railway truck, it was partially broken by accident. So the Court of Appeal that it had not passed to the buyer at the time of the accident and the engine was still at the seller’s risk. Furthermore, based on rules 2 in section 18 same as section 20 of Sale of Goods Act also could not be applied simply because the engine was not the time in a deliverable state. And to be delivered state, the goods must be in such a physical state that the buyer can take delivery and it is agreed that he will take delivery upon the contract. Here property in the goods passes from the seller to the buyer where the contract for sale is unconditional in other cases that held is this was a contract for an immediate and not a future sale, and that the property in the hay passed by it immediately to the vendee and that the same having been subsequently destroyed by fire, the loss fell upon him.
1.4 Fourth, a another rules for establishing the time for passing of property is specific goods to be in a deliverable state. Where the good is specific but certain steps have to be taken to put the good into a deliverable state, except such steps have been undertaken no property will pass. The section 21 read as follows :
Where there is a contract to sell specific goods and the seller is bound to do something to the goods for the purpose of putting them into a deliverable state, the property does not pass until

Within a contract consideration must be made to the creation of the contract. The terms of the contract define the obligations of the parties. It is by analysing the terms that you can find out what has to be done to discharge those obligations. For example in Cehave NV v Bremer Handelsgesellschaft mbH [1976] QB 44; [1975] 3 All ER 739, the buyer Cehave did not want to accept the delivered goods because they were not in ‘good condition’ although they were in satisfactory condition to perform their purpose which was to be used as animal feed.

Similarly leaving furniture, or a large amount of vendor’s chattel have been held as breaches of a vendor’s obligation to give physical vacant possession of the property.
In contrast, Louisiana interprets both "sale" and "goods" differently, hence the rejection of Article 2. In Louisiana, sales of future goods and services are also covered. No effort is made to distinguish a sale from other transactions (Callens, 2012). This left to the pre-existing law or individual interpretation by a judge. A sale can be future claim, an oral mutual agreement for future transfers, or the usual exchange for goods and services for a price as stated in the UCC. "Goods" in Louisiana, specifically those attached to real property, causes some confusion with

Delaware’s adopted version of the UCC defines a good as “all things which are moveable at the time of identification of the contract for sale” and necessitates said goods to be “both existing and identified before any interest in them can pass.” 6 Del. C. §2-105. If these requirements are found to be met “an action for breach of any contract for sale must be commenced within in 4 years after the cause of action has accrued.” Further, “a breach of warranty accrues when tender of delivery is made, except…where a warranty explicitly extends to future performance…” 6 Del. C. §2-725.

3.1. The Seller and the Buyer both acknowledge the sufficiency of this consideration.

c) Special Legal Considerations would be another alternative for this issue. Inspection Rights, if a purchaser has not inspected the purchased material to ensure that it conforms to the terms of the contract, the law gives him or her a reasonable period of time to inspect the material after it is received. If the purchaser raises no objection to the material within a reasonable period of time, he or she is deemed to have accepted it.
The Sales of Goods Act 1893 provides the definition of ‘condition’ and ‘warranty’. During the period between 1893 to 1962 both ‘condition’ and ‘warranty’ was generally accepted that they were the only two types of terms which assist in ‘identifying the breaches which entitled the injured party to terminate the contract. In the turning point of 1962, a new type of term-intermediate term brought about a whole new page into the Law of Contract. Hong Kong Fir Shipping Co. Ltd vs Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha Ltd is the key case which owns the credit for this discovery.
