A dispute arose concerning a contract for the sale of goods where the buyer alleged the seller delivered non-conforming items, leading to a request for contract termination and damages, but the lower court upheld the validity of the sale based on the buyer's acceptance and failure to timely register a formal complaint as required by commercial usage and the contract terms; the high court quashed the lower court's decision, reasoning that the stipulated formalities for complaint were only applicable to apparent defects discoverable upon immediate inspection, whereas the claimed defects constituted latent faults requiring expert confirmation, thus the buyer's delay in reporting the non-conformity did not bar their claim for rescission and damages.
