Goods Sale Acceptance by Performance

A defendant, having purchased certain goods, contested the liability for the price, arguing that a formal written acceptance of the offer to sell was required under commercial law for the contract to be validly formed, which acceptance had allegedly never occurred. The court rejected this appeal, reasoning that even in commercial dealings, the absence of a formal written acceptance does not invalidate a contract where performance has commenced or been executed by both parties, as the actual execution of the sale and delivery of the goods constituted tacit, unequivocal acceptance of the commercial agreement.
