Record 3 2013-02-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Property Law (common law)
CONT

Buyer's remedies for breach of warranty. Section 20L(1)(sic) of the New South Wales Bill restricts the buyer's remedies against a prior seller to an action for damages. This suggests that, as against the prior seller, the buyer will not be entitled to reject the goods, however defective, even though he would have been entitled to reject the goods vis-à-vis his immediate seller. This could give rise to an anomalous position. The buyer, upon rejection, would be entitled to sue his immediate seller for total failure of consideration.(U. L. R. C., "Sale of Goods", v. 1, p. 252).

French

Domaine(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Droit des biens et de la propriété (common law)
