Australian Law Dictionary (3 ed.)
...perishable goods Goods that deteriorate over a short time (e.g. fruit and vegetables, which do not stay fresh for very long). In contract law, a contract for the supply of perishable goods that does not specify a time for delivery is deemed by the courts to imply that time is of the essence: it would be implied that because the goods are perishable they would be delivered reasonably quickly before they perished and became not of merchantable quality. Where a contract does not specify the time for performance the courts deem that the obligation to perform is...
perishable goods
Ecclesiasticus, or The Wisdom of Jesus Son of Sirach Reference library
John J. Collins and John J. Collins
The Oxford Bible Commentary
... 9:5 speaks of laying up treasure with the Lord by doing righteousness. 2 Bar 24:1 speaks of treasuries where the merits of the righteous are stored until the day of judgement. The notion that hoarded wealth rusts ( Sir 29:10 ) parallels the thought of Mt 6:20 on the perishability of wealth. Cf. also Jas 5:2–3 . Proverbs uniformly counsels against going surety for another ( Prov 6:1–5; 11:15; 17:18; 20:16; 22:26–7; 27:13 ). Sirach appreciates the helpfulness implied, but he also dwells on the pitfalls. He also includes a warning for the sinner, who...

right of resale Quick reference
A Dictionary of Business and Management (6 ed.)
...of resale The right that the seller in a contract of sale has to resell the goods if the buyer does not pay the price as agreed. If the goods are perishable or the seller tells the buyer that the goods will be resold and the buyer still does not pay within a reasonable time, the seller may resell them and recover from the first buyer damages for any...
transport costs Quick reference
A Dictionary of Economics (5 ed.)
...transport costs The costs of moving goods from place to place. These tend to be higher for goods which are bulky or heavy relative to their value, and for goods which are fragile and thus require careful handling, or which are perishable and thus require rapid transport. Where transport costs are high, it is economic to produce near to the market, and inter-regional and international trade are relatively unimportant. Where transport costs are low, production tends to be footloose. Transport costs have fallen considerably during the last century, which has...

Australian Law Dictionary (3 ed.)
...Where the contract does not establish a time for performance a ‘reasonable time’ will be implied; the length of time depends on the context (e.g. for perishable goods ). In contracts for sale of goods, stipulations as to time of payment are not deemed to be of the essence of the contract unless a different intention appears from the terms of the contract: Goods Act 1958 (Vic) s 15; Sale of Goods Act 1923 (NSW) s...

...consumer non-durables Non-durable goods, such as food, drink, or tobacco, designed for use by final consumers. Some of these are in fact purchased by businesses, for example food for works canteens. Non-durables are not the same as perishable goods. Some non-durables such as wine actually have quite long shelf lives: they are non-durable in the sense that they can only be used once when they are finally...
