Seller v. Buyer: Timeliness of Defect Notification in Sales Contract

The case concerned a dispute over a contract for the sale of specific goods, where the buyer later alleged that the goods delivered did not conform to the quality stipulated in the agreement. The lower court had ruled in favor of the buyer, ordering the seller to refund the price, based on the finding that the goods were defective and unusable for their intended purpose. The high court quashed the lower court's decision, reasoning that while the goods may have been of lower quality than expected, the buyer had failed to formally notify the seller of the alleged defect within the legally prescribed timeframe after delivery, thereby forfeiting the right to claim rescission of the sale or a price reduction based on warranty against hidden defects.
