Question

Principle: \textit{Caveat emptor} — "let the buyer beware" — means the buyer is responsible for assessing the suitability and quality of goods before purchase. Facts: 'A' bought dark blue cloth from 'B' to make uniforms but did not inform 'B' about its specific purpose. The cloth was later found unfit for uniforms but suitable for other uses.

• A. 'A' would succeed in getting some remedy from 'B'
• B. 'A' would not succeed in getting any remedy from 'B'
• C. 'A' would succeed in getting refund from 'B'
• D. 'A' would succeed in getting a different variety of cloth from 'B', but not refund

Hint:

The buyer must check goods for suitability before purchase; the seller is not liable unless a purpose is disclosed.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Under the principle of \textit{caveat emptor}, the seller is not liable if the buyer fails to inform them of the specific purpose and the goods are fit for general use. Since 'A' did not disclose the intended purpose, he cannot claim a remedy.
