The Sale of Goods Act 1957 is an archaic piece of legislation. The Sale of Goods Act 1957 is outdated and needs to be revamped. The act cannot cope with problems experienced by a modernized and sophisticated society of the 21st century. Consumer protection calls for a review of the act. Defects in the present law relating to sale of goods existed based on two premises; dualism of law which leads to conflict of law issues and the deficiencies in its substantive laws, particularly relating to implied terms and its remedial scheme. Adopting the content analysis method, this study analyses the law of sale of goods in Malaysia, focusing mainly on the Sale of Goods Act 1957 and consumer protection. ER -
