Match each remedy or right under the Sale of Goods Act on the left with its corresponding legal application on the right.
- Unpaid Seller's LienThe seller retains possession of goods until payment is made while the goods are still in the seller's custody.
- Stoppage in TransituThe seller reclaims goods while in transit upon discovering that the buyer has become insolvent.
- Action for PriceThe seller sues for the full contract price after ownership has passed to the buyer who refuses to pay.
- Damages for Non-AcceptanceThe seller sues for financial loss resulting from the buyer's wrongful refusal to take delivery of the goods.
Answer
Unpaid Seller's Lien corresponds to retaining possession while goods are in custody; Stoppage in Transitu corresponds to reclaiming goods in transit due to buyer insolvency; Action for Price corresponds to suing for the contract price after ownership passes; Damages for Non-Acceptance corresponds to suing for loss caused by wrongful refusal of delivery.
Each legal term correctly maps to its statutory application under the Sale of Goods Act: an unpaid seller's lien involves holding goods currently in custody; stoppage in transitu involves intercepting goods during transport due to buyer insolvency; an action for price is a claim for the contracted amount after property has transferred; and damages for non-acceptance address financial loss caused by a buyer's wrongful refusal of delivery.
