[Sale of immovable property is governed by Transfer of Property Act]d) Laboure) Stocks, shares and securities.3. What is meant by the term-price?Ans: Price means the money consideration for a sale of goods. If goods are given without any consideration, the transaction amounts to a gift but not a sale of goods. Similarly, exchange of goods for others without any consideration amounts to a barter or exchange. Thus money is the only consideration for sale of goods.
The Sale of Goods Act 1979 affects English contract law. It includes a section on the sale of goods to minors, stipulating that the minor is liable to pay for the goods if they are deemed "necessaries." However, a contract is void if it the goods in question perish before the contract is formed. Other sections of the Sale of Goods Act pertain to change of ownership of goods, where goods are to be collected, and a seller's responsibility to repair damaged goods.
