W świetle ugruntowanego stanowiska judykatury, jeśli kupiony towar jest wadliwy, nabywca ma wybór co do sposobu uzyskania rekompensaty od sprzedawcy:może dochodzić swych praw z rękojmi za wady, może też żądać odszkodowania za faktyczną szkodę, jakiej doznał wskutek wadliwości towaru, na podstawie art. 471 k.c. Szkodą w rozumieniu art. 361 par,2 k.c. jest nie tylko poniesiony już przez poszkodowanego koszt usunięcia wad, ale również zrealizowanie obiektu budowlanego z wadami.
