Willow owns and operates a shop selling books and gifts, 'All the World's a Page' in Paddington, Sydney. Willow

supplies books both as a wholesaler and retailer. On Monday, Dawn attended at the shop and chose and

purchased 7 books. Dawn was also interested in purchasing a small display case but the only one available was

in pieces in a box and required construction. Willow agreed that if Dawn wished to purchase and pay for the

display case immediately, she would construct the display case and Dawn could collect it on Tuesday. Dawn

agreed and decided she would also collect the books the next day.

On Monday, Willow also received an order for 22 copies of the book 'Masterchef the Musical', from Buffy, the

owner of a book shop in Parramatta. The 22 books were dispatched in Willow's delivery truck with a further 70

'Masterchef the Musical' books to fill two other orders in Parramatta.

Unfortunately, on Monday night, an electrical fault in the shop next door caused a fire which spread to , 'All the

World's a Page' and the shop and its contents were destroyed. Dawn arrived to collect the 7 books and the

display case on Tuesday morning, but finding them destroyed, demanded the return of her money. Willow

refused.

Yes it will be a contract for the sale of goods as there is an agreement between the sellers to transfer

goods to the buyer for money. The seller (plumber) has agreed to install a series of pipe for money to

the buyer once the installation is completed. This is onr form of contract recognised by the ACT as a

contract of sale.

In a further blow, the delivery truck was involved in an accident causing great damage to the books.

When Buffy finally received the books she refused to accept them because of their seriously damaged

condition, and refused to pay for the order, insisting that it was not her loss to bear.
