This course considers both law and practice relating to the domestic and international sale of goods, an area of underrated importance to both business and consumer clients. It combines topics that might otherwise be taught in a dedicated Sale of Goods course with topics often covered in International Business Transactions courses. Roughly 60% of the term is spent on the law governing sales of goods in Canada's common law provinces and between Canada and other countries. The remainder of the term covers a range of issues relating to sales transactions, such as the transportation of goods across borders, how the price in large-scale sales transactions is paid, and some of the Rules that govern Canadian businesses in their activities abroad. Throughout, the course emphasizes not only knowledge of black-letter law but also litigation, negotiation, and contract-drafting skills.
