Under section 49 of the Sale of Goods Act, 1930, which pair consists of two events that each end an unpaid seller’s lien independently? Assume any carrier delivery is for transmission to the buyer.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Delivery for transmission to the buyer without reserving the right of disposal ends the lien. Lawful possession by the buyer or the buyer’s agent also ends it.
Waiver is another terminating event. A judgment for the price alone leaves the lien intact.
Option feedback
Option A
Reservation takes the carrier delivery outside section 49(1)(a), even though lawful possession by the buyer qualifies.
Option B
Waiver qualifies, but a judgment for the price alone does not end the lien.
Option C
Each event independently terminates the lien under section 49(1)(a) or (b).
Option D
Neither reserved carrier delivery nor a judgment for the price alone terminates the lien on the stated facts.
