Rescission of a Contract of Sale of Goods

Abstract

THE case of Long v. Lloyd,1 noted by Mr. Grunfeld in 21 M.L.R. p. 550, is of such interest that a further Note on it may not be superfluous. It is unnecessary to set the facts out again in detail. Reduced to its simplest elements the case involved a sale of goods in which the seller had made certain statements regarding the quality of the goods to the buyer, and the latter was claiming the right to rescind the contract on the ground that these statements were false.
