Few decisions are reported on the provisions of Section 13 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979, so any such case which is reported should rouse some interest. The Court of Appeal decision in Harlingdon & Leinster Enterprises Limited v Christopher Hull Fine Art Limited' is all the more important in that it sets out to define a 'sale of goods by description.' The ramifications of the decision may prove to be far reaching, especially as it appears to undermine the very spirit of the Sale of Goods Act and, in respect of Section 13, indicate a return to caveat emptor
