Read the facts and the question and then choose the best answer. A, a hotelier, buys 4 washing machines from B, a retailer of electrical goods. The machines are delivered and installed in the hotel laundry. They work well for a week and A pays B for them in full. A short time later the machines start breaking down and a specialist tells A that their computerised components are faulty and would cost more to replace than the machines are worth. A asks B to remove the machines and return the price paid. In these circumstances, can B successfully argue that performance of the contract has already been made and accepted and it is too late for A to reject the machines? |
