Seller v. Buyer: Latent Defect and Timeliness of Notification

A seller sued a buyer for the balance due on a sale of goods, arguing that the buyer's declaration that the goods were not in conformity with the contract was made too late, after the statutory period for inspection and notification of defects had expired. The court upheld the lower court's decision to reject the seller's claim, reasoning that the buyer's declaration, even if slightly late, was still timely given that the non-conformity was not apparent upon initial inspection and only became evident through subsequent use, thereby excusing the delay in notification under the applicable commercial law provisions concerning latent defects.
