Sale of Goods Dispute: Acceptance and Prescription of Defects
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe case concerned a contract for the sale of goods where the buyer claimed the delivered items were defective and sought the resolution of the sale and damages, but the seller argued that the buyer had accepted the goods without reservation, thereby waiving any claim regarding apparent defects, and that the claim regarding hidden defects was time-barred. The court upheld the lower court's decision, reasoning that the buyer's failure to inspect the goods upon delivery and subsequent acceptance without immediate reservation constituted an acceptance of the quality thereof, barring later claims for obvious defects, and affirmed that the action for hidden defects was indeed prescribed under the applicable legal timeframe.
