| 释义 | retention retention in the Scots law of contract, the right for A not to pay money due to B under a contract until damages due by B to A under the same contract are ascertained. Thus, a claim for freight may be opposed by a claim for damage done to the goods in transit. In bankruptcy or liq- uidation, a party who is facing an illiquid claim may retain in respect of an illiquid sum owed to him by the bankrupt and it is not neces- sary that the debts should arise out of the same contract.In the law of Sale of Goods 1979, where the property in goods has not passed to the buyer, the UNPAID SELLER has a right to withhold delivery similar to and co-extensive with his rights of LIEN or RETENTION and STOPPAGE IN TRANSIT where the property has passed to the buyer. |
