Remedies for Breach of Warranty
There are several remedies available to a buyer in case of a breach of warranty. These remedies are as follows:
1. Diminution or Extinction of Price
If the seller breaches the warranty, the buyer may claim a proportionate reduction in the price of the goods. In case of a serious breach, the buyer may also reject the goods and claim a refund of the purchase price.
2. Refusal to Pay the Price of Goods
If the seller breaches a warranty, the buyer may refuse to pay the price of the goods. This remedy is available only in cases where the breach is serious.
3. Suit for Loss Exceeding Price of Goods
If the buyer suffers a loss due to the breach of warranty, he can sue the seller for damages. The amount of damages would depend on the nature and extent of the loss suffered by the buyer.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the remedies available to a buyer in case of a breach of warranty include a proportionate reduction in the price of goods, refusal to pay the price of goods (in case of serious breach), and a suit for damages exceeding the price of goods.
