Summary
A buyer claimed a manufacturing defect in a car bought from a company, which blamed poor maintenance; the experts' report found the defect stemmed from a diagnostic error by the dealer. The court ordered the company to refund the price and dismissed the claim beyond that, and the Court of Appeal upheld the judgment.
Principle
Where a defect is proven, the buyer may keep the item with compensation for the defect or rescind the sale; experts may be used to assess the defect.
