Buyer's Right to Reject Latent Defective Goods
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA dispute arose concerning a contract for the sale of goods where the buyer alleged the goods delivered were defective and failed to meet the agreed-upon specifications, leading to rejection of the delivery and a claim for damages. The court affirmed the lower court's decision, reasoning that while the buyer is generally required to inspect goods promptly upon delivery, the specific contractual terms or the nature of the defect, which was latent or could not be discovered through ordinary immediate inspection, justified the buyer's delayed objection and subsequent refusal of the non-conforming goods. The finding that the seller failed to deliver the quality or kind of goods stipulated in the contract was sufficient basis for upholding the buyer's remedies.
