Brock owns an antique store. He receives a telephone call from Siri who is looking for "Picatto" cranberry glass pieces to add to her collection. Brock advised her that he had six Picatto cranberry serving dishes in stock and could obtain others from an antique wholesaler if required. After describing the pieces to Siri over the phone, she agreed to purchase them for $1,200.00. Brock shipped the glass to Siri. When it arrived she refused to accept the delivery telling the courier to return them to Brock. She claims that the pieces are of a darker colour than she had anticipated and do not match her existing collection and that two of the pieces are cracked. Brock comes to you for advice. He claims that all of the pieces were in perfect condition when they were shipped and considered the pieces to belong to Siri as soon as they were shipped and left his premises. Required: Explain the remedies, if any, to which Brock is entitled. Does Siri have any legal basis for refusing to accept the goods? How does "caveat emptor" and the provisions of the Sale of Goods Act apply? Brock owns an antique store.
