What does Delivery mean?

Delivery is defined in the sale of goods Act 1979, s 61(1) as the 'voluntary transfer of possession from one person to another' which is the point in time when the parties can be seen to have agreed that the legal right to possession of the goods passes from the seller to the buyer. A distinction must be made between the transfer of possession/delivery and the passing of title/ownership.

Time limits for summary prosecution—prosecutor’s knowledge (DPP v Jinks)

Corporate Crime analysis: The Divisional Court dismissed the prosecutor’s appeal against a decision that the prosecution was brought out of time, contrary to section 127(5) of the Communications Act 2003 (CA 2003). That section contains an extended time limit for that offence, requiring summary proceedings be brought within six months of the date of the relevant knowledge of the prosecutor. This judgment clarifies the correct interpretation of the time limit, emphasising the distinction that the relevant date is when all the evidence first comes to the knowledge of the prosecutor entitled to make a decision, not when the decision to prosecute is made. This case is significant for practitioners dealing with the many types of summary offence that have similar provision for the longer statutory time limits specific to offences that are excepted from the usual section 127 of the Magistrates’ Courts Act 1980 limit. It highlights the importance of timely action by the prosecution in reaching decisions and concluding any appeals against initial non-prosecution decisions, and of the question...
