But both cases are different as in the first case the third party knew of the restrictions placed on the agent but since the principal did not object to it, the agent was held out as having the authority to receive payments. In the second case, the third party were unaware of any restrictions placed on the agent by the principal and also, it was thought that ordering goods was under the usual authority of the manager. In both the above cases the principal was held responsible and could be sued for damages. But both the above cases can be contradicted by the case British Bata Shoe Co Ltd V Double M Shah Ltd 1980 SC 311, where the pursuers were the principal, the cashier was the agent and the defenders were the third party. The pursuers had supplied goods to the defender, who had made payment to the pursuer’s cashier, who had no authority to receive payment. The cashier asked for the payee’s name to be left blank on the cheque, and he later stole the cheque and cashed it for himself. The pursuer sued for payment for the goods and the defender claimed they had been paid for. Even though the cashier had ostensible authority to receive payments, when the cashier asked for the payee’s name to be left blank, the defender should have suspected something was wrong and should have checked whether the cashier had the authority. Hence, in this
Mr. Slim Jim verbally submitted an offer to Mr. Potbelly who proceeded to accept Mr. Slim Jims’ offer unequivocally (pg. 122). The “Basic Requirements of a Contract” (pg. 107) were completed. In this bilateral contract (pg. 107), “Communication of Acceptance” (pg. 123) was evident as Mr. Potbelly responded “Sure I’ll take it” when Mr. Slim Jim submitted an offer for the pottery and enthusiastically replied “I’ll take it!” when Mr. Slim Jim gave him an offer of cash for his home. As a result of this, Mr. Slim Jim is suing for the “right to obtain specific performance” asking that the agreement be upheld. Also, according to “admissions” (one of the “exceptions to the statutes of frauds” (pg. 175) Mr. Potbelly’s agreement should be upheld.
Which could take several days to receive. Thankfully there is a new program called Trade Projects and you can apply for a credit in just ten minutes, and the man was able to do it and get his credit for his shipment then later was able to receive his money from the gouvernement. A downfall i've found with the CanExport program is that it could take up to 20 business days to get reimbursed and some people have said it’s a long time because sometimes they really need to get the funds but it takes too long and they have come late on payments few times.
36. Principle of Law: The transaction between Browne and Houlihan was just under negotiation process and not form the contract. Browne did not acknowledge Houlihan’s e-mail and did not reply to accept Houlihan’s request, so he sold the television set to another. Houlihan then purchased a new set more expensive than Browne’s set. Both of them didn’t break the contract because there’s no contract between them. Therefore Houlihan had no legal basis to sue Browne for $1,000.
This paper examines the development and scope of accessory liability under the second limb of Barnes v Addy as it stands in both England and Australia. As to the law in England, the focus will be on the rearticulation of the principle of accessory liability under the second limb as stated in Royal Brunei Airlines Sdn Bhd v Tan. In particular, it will consider the extent to which the decision has reconciled inconsistencies in earlier authority and remedied those issues propounded to be inherent in the traditional formulation of the principle. At this stage, this traditional principle remains good law in Australia. However, as suggested in Farah Constructions Pty Ltd v Say-Dee Pty Ltd, there is potential for the
The reasons for judgment was then appealed to the District Court according to s. 149 of the Weapons Act, which permits an appeal on a question of the law. The District Court judge allowed the appeal on the bases that the magistrate has wrongly applied, as “the primary test”, the test that was set out in s 138(3) of the Weapons Act for possession of modern handguns and failed to give proper consideration to the evidence as to the pistols being a collectable
The issue is whether the UCC or Common law apply when Helen and Reggie discussed the sale of Reggie’s piano.
1. Kennedy, Dissent(even though the K does not require payment against documents, it is necessarily implied by the term CIF, because otherwise the S would give up the goods, while B would still be able to reject them at the port of delivery, or would have to hold the B/L until goods were accepted, in violation of the K. This view was taken upon appeal to H of Lords.

Simon, the manager of the damaged Burger Ranch, inspected the tree, was satisfied with the tree, initialed the receipt, and paid the $150 for the tree. These facts definitively imply that the buyer did accept the goods after he had a reasonable opportunity to inspect it and then made the judgement that it conformed to their satisfaction, therefore legally accepting the goods.
There are four parties to the case. The alleged transfer of the guitar revolves from Andy, unknown thief, ABC Music Company, Peter and John. In the case, Andy is set to prevail when he is able to have proven that he has the original documentation of ownership to the guitar. Andy has the right to own the guitar on proof that he has the original documentation of the guitar. John has the right to seek compensation from Peter when it is proven that Peter was in possession of stolen property. Under the Sale of Goods Act, the legal owner of the goods has to retain ownership. Therefore, Andy is the ultimate winner in the case and needs to keep the guitar.
The Sales of Goods Act 1893 provides the definition of ‘condition’ and ‘warranty’. During the period between 1893 to 1962 both ‘condition’ and ‘warranty’ was generally accepted that they were the only two types of terms which assist in ‘identifying the breaches which entitled the injured party to terminate the contract. In the turning point of 1962, a new type of term-intermediate term brought about a whole new page into the Law of Contract. Hong Kong Fir Shipping Co. Ltd vs Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha Ltd is the key case which owns the credit for this discovery. In the case, the ship owner hired out the Hong Kong fir, ‘being in every way fitted for ordinary cargo service’. The ship was delivered on 13 February 1957, sailing

L & Co dispatched the goods on credit to Blenkarn, who resold 250 dozen to Cundy. Blenkarn did not pay for the goods. L & Co sued Cundy to recover the handkerchiefs. It was held that the contract between L & Co and Blenkarn was void for unilateral mistake. L & Co intended to deal with Blenkiron & Co, not Blenkarn. Cundy was liable to return the handkerchiefs to L & Co because no right of ownership had passed to him.
The first issue is wether or not Aline has rights to sell the car to Christine after having sold it to Benjamin. “The basic rule is expressed in the Latin maxim nemo dat quod non habet”. This means that a seller cannot pass to a buyer a better title to goods than he possesses, “unless the owner of the goods is by his conduct precluded from denying the seller 's authority to sell”. In Greenwood, the court held that the car belonged to Bennett as Searle did not have title and could therefore not transfer that title to Harper. On applying this to the facts, it is possible to conclude that Aline can pass no better title than she has to Christine after having sold the car to Benjamin.
