Textile Machine Purchase Price and CISG Defect Notification
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe appellate court reversed the lower court's dismissal of a claim for the purchase price of a textile cleaning machine, holding that a dissolved and deleted limited partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft) retains legal capacity and thus standing to be sued as long as its liquidation is not fully concluded. Addressing the defendant's counterclaim for price reduction due to defects under the CISG, the court determined that the buyer must inspect goods promptly and notify the seller of non-conformity within a reasonable time after discovery, suggesting approximately one month as a baseline reasonable period when no special circumstances exist. Furthermore, regarding the burden of proof for non-performance under the CISG, the court reasoned that while the buyer generally proves the seller's breach as a prerequisite for remedies, once the buyer has notified the seller of a defect after inspection, the seller bears the burden of proving the goods conformed at the critical time of delivery.
