Section 1 Contracts to which Act applies.

This Act applies to contracts of sale of goods made on or after (but not to those made before) 1 January 1894.

In relation to contracts made on certain dates, this Act applies subject to the modification of certain of its sections as mentioned in Schedule 1 below.

Any such modification is indicated in the section concerned by a reference to Schedule 1 below.

Accordingly, where a section does not contain such a reference, this Act applies in relation to the contract concerned without such modification of the section.

Certain sections or subsections of this Act do not apply to a contract to which Chapter 2 of Part 1 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 applies.

Where that is the case it is indicated in the section concerned.
