  1. The buyer can only claim monetary damages for breach of an implied warranty.Cevap
  2. B
    The buyer can repudiate the contract and demand a full refund for breach of an implied condition.
  3. C
    The buyer has no legal recourse against the wholesaler under the rule of caveat emptor.
  4. D
    The buyer must forfeit the goods and pay the wholesaler's outstanding duty without recovery rights.

Cevap

The buyer can only claim monetary damages for breach of an implied warranty.
Under the Sale of Goods Act, statutory implied warranties protect the buyer by guaranteeing quiet possession of the goods and freedom from undisclosed encumbrances. When third-party authorities seize goods due to the seller's prior unpaid duties, it constitutes a breach of an implied warranty, restricting the buyer's legal remedy to claiming financial damages.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the nature of the breach under the Sale of Goods Act.
The seizure of goods by authorities due to undisclosed prior tax liabilities represents a breach of the implied warranty of quiet possession and freedom from encumbrances.
Under Section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act, guarantees of quiet possession and freedom from unmentioned third-party claims are classified as implied warranties rather than conditions.
2
Determine the legal remedy available for a breach of warranty.
A breach of warranty entitles the injured party to claim damages, but not to reject the goods or repudiate the contract.
Unlike a breach of condition which goes to the root of the contract, a warranty is a collateral obligation.
