Buyer's Claim for Deficient Quantity Overruling Strict Contractual Notice Requirements

A dispute arose regarding a contract for the sale of a quantity of a specific product, where the buyer claimed the delivered quantity was deficient compared to the agreed-upon amount, leading to a claim for damages. The lower court dismissed the buyer's claim, finding that the buyer failed to formally contest the quantity upon delivery as required by the contract terms or commercial usage. The reviewing court quashed this decision, reasoning that while parties can contractually establish formalities for verifying quantities, such clauses cannot be invoked against a party who has otherwise established the deficiency through contrary and irrefutable proof, as the principle of contractual good faith requires recognizing the true state of facts where proven, overriding unduly strict procedural formalities for contesting quantities in the absence of clear contractual stipulation making such formalities mandatory for admissibility of any subsequent claim.
