These exceptions cover a limited range of transactions and are restrictive in their operation. Australia now has national legislation-the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth)  \n-which will apply to many transactions outside the scope of the Sale of Goods Act and which includes rules for sales by non-owners which will provide exceptions to the nemo dat quod non habet rule for many common commercial transactions. This article explores the effect of the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth) on the Sale of Goods exceptions, explains that the new provisions are so wide that there is little continuing relevance for the Sale of Goods Act exceptions, and indicates where they may still apply.  \nIntroduction  \nIn some circumstances a person may have possession of goods without having the right to sell them to another. The possessor may have been an owner who transferred property rights in the goods under a mortgage. The possessor may have obtained the goods as a result of having entered into a financing transaction with the owner who has retained ownership of those goods. The possessor and the owner may have entered into a bailment arrangement without there being any financing involved. In any of these circumstances, if the possessor sells those goods to a buyer and the sale is wrongful as against the true owner or creditor, the issue is whether the purchase by the third party buyer “extinguishes” the rights of the true owner or  \nthe credito","cbCaih9rl7p5fCZR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaih9rl7p5fCZR","pdf",190256,25,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# The Sale of Goods Act and the nemo dat rule\n# Transactions involving non-owners and buyers in good faith\n# Impact of the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 on existing exceptions\n# Continued relevance and where Sale of Goods exceptions may still apply","[{\"question\":\"What is the nemo dat quod non habet rule discussed in the article?\",\"answer\":\"It is the personal property principle that no one can transfer a better title to property than they themselves have.
