Sale of Goods Act (SoGA) 1932 Remedies

A sold his laptop to B, but for some repairing purpose A retained the laptop with him. The laptop is stolen by C , in this case the loss will fall on

None of them

- When A sold his laptop to B, the ownership (risk) generally transfers to B, even if A keeps the laptop for repairs.

- In such “sale but goods retained by seller” situations, the loss usually falls on the owner, unless otherwise agreed.

- Since C stole the laptop, the liability for loss depends on who is the owner at the time. Here, B is the owner.

- The theft by C does not change the original contract or transfer the risk back to A.

- Therefore, Option 1: B is the correct answer. The loss falls on B, unless A was negligent, which is not specified here.
