Which statement about the form of a contract of sale of goods is correct, subject to any other law in force?

Subject to any law in force, a contract of sale may be made in writing, by word of mouth, partly in writing and partly oral, or be implied from the conduct of the parties. No single form is compulsory under the Act.

Section 5(2) permits a contract of sale to be in writing, oral, partly written and partly oral, or implied from conduct, subject to any law in force. So insisting on writing or only oral form is wrong.
