The weaknesses of the sale of goods directive – dealing with legislative deficits
- The South African legislator frequently employs a comparative approach, importing European and Anglo-American legal solutions. These doo not necessarily fit into the existing South African legal system. Similar developments can be observed in German law; it is increasingly influenced by European law. This applies in particular to the German Civil Code. In 2019, the European legislatur adopted the Sale of Goods Directive and the Digital Conent Directive. As stated in the first article of each of these two directives, the aim is to ensure a "proper" functioning of the internal market. The adoption of both directives follows full harmonisation; it creates a uniform legal framework, as Member States are not allowed to maaintain or introduce diverging provisions. This paper seekes to combine the sale of goods law with a number of questions on European Legal methodology.
