Assume each transferee acts in good faith and has no notice of any earlier sale, lien or other relevant right. Which sale falls outside the exceptions in Sections 29 and 30 of the Sale of Goods Act, 1930?
Answer and explanation

Section 27 states the general rule that a non-owner ordinarily passes no better title than they have.

Section 30 protects qualifying dispositions by a seller remaining in possession after sale or by a buyer who obtained possession with the seller's consent. The transferee must receive the goods or title documents in good faith and without the notice specified in the relevant subsection.
