This case involved a time limit for returning defective goods.

Background

A claimant filed a case against a company before the court. He requested the court to dismiss the contract signed between the two parties. He said that he had bought porcelain from the company but he then discovered that the porcelain did not match the agreed standards.

The company said that the two parties had agreed that the claimant could return the porcelain within one month of the sale. The company said that it had taken the claimant 10 months to request the refund.

Decision

The court said that the case documents revealed that the claimant had failed to return the porcelain within one month of the singing of the contract. The court said that the company had not violated the contract.

The court dismissed the case.

The court of appeal upheld the ruling.
