Abstract/Description:

This chapter is an introduction to this book that consolidates all chapters within the book’s underlying theme of unity and diversity in the law of sale of goods. It identifies challenges faced by sales law in the light of the diversity of commercial and transactional contexts and the multiplicity of non-state-made sources that can govern a contract of sale in the modern world. It argues, for example, that sales law should develop in a way that creates and promotes effective symbiosis between it and the industry sources. They complement one another and, taken together, provide a system of sources governing sales contracts.
