Explanation

Appropriation of goods means assigning specific goods to a particular contract. The Sale of Goods Act allows appropriation to be made by EITHER the seller OR the buyer. It can be done WITH the other party's assent (explicit or implied) or, in certain circumstances like when the buyer is in default, WITHOUT the other party's assent. Both methods (1) and (2) are valid - seller with buyer's assent, or buyer with seller's assent.
