Supreme Court BREACH OF WARRANTY
Judgment Upheld A judgment for the plaintiff given in the Christchurch Magistrate's Court in August on a claim alleging breach of warranty in the sale of a motor-car was upheld and an appeal against the judgment dismissed by Mr Justice Wilson in the Supreme Court yesterday. The appeal was made by David Tattle, a university technician (Mr B. J. Drake),' against the award of damages | of $196.87 to Valda Sonya Black, a secretary, and Linda Gertrude Black, a married woman (Mr L. M. O'Reilly, for both). The statement of claim in the action alleged that the appellant, in arranging the sale of a car to the respondents, represented that it had been reconditioned when it had not been reconditioned, and that this constituted a breach of warranty. His Honour said the Magistrate was perfectly correct in holding that a representation had been made, and that it amounted to a warranty.
