SCA 900/2019
This case involved the sale of goods which were claimed to be faulty. A key point was whether it was the customer's fault as they had failed to maintain the printer.
Background
A claimant filed a case against a company before the court. He requested the court to order the company to pay him 349020 and to dismiss a signed contract. He said that he had bought a digital printer from the company and that the printer did not match with the agreed standards.
The company said that the claimant had reviewed the printer before buying it.
The court appointed an expert in order to consider the dispute. The expert concluded that the printer did not work properly because the claimant had failed to conduct regular maintenance on the printer.
Decision
The court dismissed the case.
The court of appeal stated that the expert report revealed that the company had failed to deliver the printer to the claimant after the maintenance work. The court also said that the report revealed that the paper distribution unit in the printer did not match with the agreed standards.
