Vendor v. Purchaser: Contractual Acceptance and Subsequent Rejection of Non-Conforming Goods
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA vendor sued a purchaser for the balance of the price of goods, claiming the purchaser accepted the delivery and did not raise any immediate objections regarding conformity, but the lower court dismissed the claim, finding that the purchaser had effectively reserved their rights by immediately notifying the vendor of the defects upon discovery after unpacking and checking the goods, as the contractual stipulations only required the purchaser to accept the goods initially but did not preclude them from later rejecting non-conforming items; the high court upheld this ruling, affirming that the contractual clause requiring initial acceptance without reservation did not bar a subsequent action for non-conformity once the defects were reasonably discovered through unpacking and verification.
