Master's thesis

Abstract:

The study aimed to evaluate Ghana's sales contract regulations, focusing on the Sale of Goods Act of 1962. (ACT 137). It specified the seller's and buyer's primary responsibilities and optional responsibilities. Again, the study looked at a sales contract’s mandatory and optional aspects in Ghana's jurisdiction. The Vienna Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (Vienna, 1980) was used to conduct a comparative analysis or discussion (CISG). The study revealed that the buyer's primary obligations in a contract of sale are to pay the price and accept delivery of the goods, as outlined in Section 21 of the Sales Act 1962. Section 22 also states that, unless otherwise agreed, the buyer must be ready and willing to pay the price in exchange for delivery of the products. The following are the seller's essential obligations, as outlined in section 8 of Act 137: (1) In a sale of certain commodities, the seller's primary obligation is to deliver those things to the buyer. (2) The seller's principal obligation in selling unidentified items is to deliver goods to the client that are substantially equivalent to the description or sample. (3) Any term in a sale contract that is incompatible with or repugnant to the seller's fundamental responsibility is null and void to the degree of the incompatibility or repugnance.
