Rules for ascertaining intention
(1)
Where there is a contract for the sale of unascertained or future goods by
description, and goods of that description, and in a deliverable state, are
unconditionally appropriated to the contract, either by the seller with the assent
of the buyer, or by the buyer with the assent of the seller, the property in the
goods thereupon passes to the buyer. Such assent may be express or implied, and may
be given either before or after the appropriation is made.
(2)
Where, in pursuance of the contract, the seller delivers the goods to the buyer
or to a carrier or other bailee (whether named by the buyer or not) for the purpose
of transmission to the buyer, and does not reserve the right of disposal, he is
deemed to have unconditionally appropriated the goods to the contract.
