Question 1 (Word Limit = 300 words)

David wants to buy a new business suit from a boutique designer in the city. A salesman helps him find the perfect suit but the jacket is a little loose around his waist. The salesman takes some measurements and explains that the suit can be altered and ready for collection by the end of the week. David pays for the suit and gives the salesman his contact details.

Before the suit is altered, a fire breaks out in the storeroom and the suit is destroyed. The boutique designer claims that David owned the suit at the time of the fire and therefore must bear the loss.

Use the IRAC method to advise David whether or not he will bear the loss of the destroyed suit based on the Sale of Goods Act
