The sale of goods by sample is dealt with in See also:England by the Sale of Goods See also:Act 1893, s . 15, which provides that a See also:contract of sale shall be a contract for sale by sample where there is a See also:term in the contract, See also:express or implied, to that effect . In the See also:case of such a contract, there must be (a) an implied See also:condition that the bulk shall correspond with the sample in quality; (b) an implied condition that the buyer shall have a reasonable opportunity of comparing the bulk with the sample; (c) an implied condition that the goods shall be See also:free from any defect, rendering them unmerchantable, which would not be apparent on reasonable examination of the sample .
