This chapter expounds on the concept of transferring titles. The transfer of title is ultimately the obligation of the buyer in a sales contract. The transfer of title in the goods sold under a sales contract is central to the parties and their creditors’ interests. The chapter notes the importance of distinguishing legal systems following a unitary approach or a functional approach. It explains the applicable law used in default provisions. The mode of transferring title is also considered on a jurisdiction basis. The chapter also differentiates the buyer’s obligation of transferring titles and the seller’s obligation of delivering goods.
