The Sale of Goods Act 1893 (56 & 57 Vict. c. 71) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland to regulate contracts in which goods are sold and bought and to define the rights and duties of the parties (where not expressly defined in the agreement), while specifically preserving the relevance of ordinary contractual principles. The Act was repealed in the United Kingdom in 1980 and 1982 but remains in force in Ireland, having been carried over into Irish law following independence.[3]
