Seller v. Buyer (Defective Goods)

A seller sued a buyer for payment under a contract, but the buyer raised a defense of non-performance by the seller, claiming the delivered goods were defective, which the lower court accepted, finding the seller had failed to meet their contractual obligations. The highest court rejected the appeal, upholding the lower court's decision because the finding that the seller breached the warranty against hidden defects, rendering the object unfit for its intended purpose, was a factual determination within the lower court's jurisdiction, and thus could not be overturned on appeal.
