EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

SALE OF GOODS ORDINANCE 1967

No. 25 of 1967

	Section 9 of the Sale of Goods Ordinance 1954 provides that a contract for the sale of goods of the value of ten pounds or upwards will not be enforceable unless certain alternative conditions are fulfilled.

	After 1 August 1967, the date proclaimed to be the day on which the dual-currency period will end, this reference to the £ s. d. currency will be redundant and consequently it has been necessary to amend section 9 by inserting a reference to twenty dollars in place of the ten pounds mentioned therein.
