A seller of goods can only transfer all the right in goods to a buyer where : <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A. He has the authority of the owner to do so <\/p>\n\n\n\n
B. He is the true owner of property<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C. All of the above <\/p>\n\n\n\n
D. None of the above<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The correct answer and explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n Correct Answer: A. He has the authority of the owner to do so<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In the sale of goods, the basic legal principle is encapsulated in the Latin maxim “nemo dat quod non habet,”<\/strong> which means “no one can give what they do not have.” This principle is enshrined in many legal systems and statutes, including the Sale of Goods Act<\/strong>, and it generally means that a seller cannot transfer a better title to goods than he himself possesses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This rule protects the rights of the true owner<\/strong> of the property and helps prevent fraud or unauthorized sales. However, there are exceptions to this rule that allow a person who is not the true owner<\/strong> to transfer a valid title to a buyer if certain conditions are met<\/strong>. One of the key exceptions is when the seller has the authority of the true owner<\/strong> to sell the goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s break down the answer options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, Option A<\/strong> is the best and most legally accurate answer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A seller of goods can only transfer all the right in goods to a buyer where : A.

\n\n\n\nExplanation (300+ words):<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\u2705 This is correct<\/strong> because a seller who acts with the authority (either actual or apparent) of the true owner can legally transfer ownership to a buyer. For instance, an agent acting on behalf of the principal (the true owner) can validly transfer title.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u274c While it is true that the actual owner<\/strong> can always transfer ownership, this option is not broad enough. A person can also lawfully transfer title if they have the owner’s authority<\/strong>, even if they themselves are not the owner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u274c This implies both A and B must be true simultaneously<\/strong>, which isn’t necessary. A seller need not be the true owner if<\/strong> they have the owner’s authority.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u274c This is clearly incorrect.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
