Purchaser v. Manufacturer: Latent Defects After Acceptance
France (FR)
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA suit was brought against a manufacturer by a purchaser who claimed that a product delivered was defective due to improper assembly, leading to an accident and resulting damages. The manufacturer argued that the purchaser had accepted the product without reservation, thereby waiving any right to claim defects based on apparent compliance with specifications. The court rejected the appeal, reasoning that acceptance of delivery does not preclude the buyer from later raising a claim based on latent defects that were not discoverable upon a reasonable inspection at the time of delivery, confirming the seller's continuing liability for hidden non-conformities.
