Daugherty v. Trump Bros. Rubber

FULL TEXT

PER CURIAM:

In the Municipal Court defendant in error, upon a statement of claim, recovered from the plaintiff in error a judgment in the sum of $212.50 for goods sold and delivered by it to plaintiff in error, which sale and delivery occurred on or about September 12, 1925. Plaintiff in error filed a statement of defense and a cross statement of claim. By way of defense to the action, it was alleged that the goods were defective and entirely worthless. By the way of cross statement of claim it was alleged 'that by reason of the defective quality of the materials used in the tires so delivered and the failure of plaintiff in error to make adjustments according to its agreement, plaintiff in error lost at least ten customers and was damaged in the sum of $1,000.00. He was further required to make adjustments on tiles of this shipment which he had sold to his customers to the extent of $225.00, making a total loss which he claimed due him from defendant of $1,225.00.

There was introduced in evidence what is termed by counsel a standard express warranty upon which these goods were sold. This standard express warranty makes it obligatory upon the buyer in case of complaint to *792notify defendant in error and also to forward any alleged defective tires to its place of business for examination.

It is conceded in the record that these conditions contained in the standard express warranty were not complied with by plaintiff in eiror. Since plaintiff in error seeks reliance upon an express warranty both by way of defense to the action and by way of counterclaims, it must appear, in order to make the same operative in favor of plaintiff in error, that the conditions therein contained were fully complied with by plaintiff in error.

We find no error in the judgment of the Municipal Court and it will, therefore be affirmed.
