A plaintiff, having entered into a contract for the sale of goods, sued the seller for rescission and damages after discovering that the delivered items did not conform to the agreed-upon specifications, arguing a material breach of the warranty of conformity. The defendant seller contested the claim, asserting that the plaintiff had accepted the goods without immediate reservation, thereby waiving any right to later challenge the quality. The court ultimately rejected the appeal, reasoning that while the discovery of a latent defect may justify rescission, the right to sue for breach of warranty requires the buyer to act promptly upon discovery of the defect, and the lower court correctly found that the plaintiff failed to demonstrate that the non-conformity was latent or that the action was brought within a reasonable time following discovery or acceptance.
