Q: I refused to pay for some products that I did not order from a supplier. He mixed wanted stock with unwanted stock and has now refused to accept the
returns and demands the money be paid.
A: The contract was breached by the suppliers when they supplied goods
that were refused from the onset of the agreement. The provision that governs
this is the Sale
of Goods Act 1895 –Chapter 82:30, as amended. According to Section 31(3):
Where the seller delivers to the buyer the goods he contracted to sell
mixed with goods of a different description not included in the contract, the
buyer may accept the goods which are in accordance with the contract and reject
the rest, or he may reject the whole.
Section 35(1) goes further to explain:
Where goods are delivered to the buyer which he has
not previously examined, he is not deemed to have accepted them unless and
until he has had a reasonable opportunity of examining them for the purpose of
ascertaining whether they are in conformity with the contract.
What if the buyer came personally and selected goods and was given a three consective months to pay for the goods but after making two payments... she decided shes not paying the balance and claims its not the goods she wanted after two months...that the items is damage and not sell able ... can anything be done about that...
ReplyDeleteI would think that too much time has passed. Suing for the balance is the seller's recourse.
