reasonable quality 
and 
suitable for their purpose
.
The UK’s Consumer Rights Act 2015 (TSO, 2015) legislation covers these matters and a number of 
other important issues. We will use UK legislation as an example in the following sections. Its provisions 
are regarded as 
implied terms 
of most contracts for the sale of goods. 
6.2.1 Implied terms 
A sale of goods is subject to the following provisions. 

Title, or the seller's right to sell the goods 

Description of the goods 

Quality of the goods 

Fitness of the goods for the purpose for which they are supplied 
6.2.2 Time of performance 
If goods arrive too late, they may be useless.
The terms of the contract will determine whether a particular timescale is a condition of performance. If 
it is, a breach of such terms entitles the injured party to treat the contract as discharged.
In commercial contracts for the supply of goods for business or industrial use, it will be assumed that 
time is of the essence
, even where there is no express term to that effect. 
6.2.3 Seller's title 
You cannot sell something that is not yours to sell. It is an implied condition that the seller has a 
right to 
sell the goods
, or will have, at the time of sale.
If the seller delivers goods without having the right to sell, the buyer does not get to own the goods, 
which is the essential basis of the contract. If the buyer subsequently has to return the goods to the real 
owner, they may recover the entire price from the seller. 
6.2.4 Example: Seller's title 
R bought a car from D, which D had unknowingly bought from a thief. When this was discovered, the 
car was returned to the true owner. R sued D for the return of the full purchase price (as damages). The 
court decided that, although R had used the car for several months, they had not had ownership of it, 
which is what they had paid for. D therefore had to repay the full amount.
