Explain the following and give example:

Article 1571(own explanation and give example)

Limitation of action

-The action for rescission of the contract or reduction of the purchase price (Art. 1567.) prescribes six(6) months from the date of delivery of the thing sold. This means that the action shall be barred unless brought within the said period.

Article 1572(own explanation and give example)

Sale of two or more animals together

-When two or more animals have been sold at the same time and the redhibitory defect (Art. 1576.) is in one, or some of them but not in all, the general rule is that the redhibition will not af-fect the others without it. It is immaterial whether the price has been fixed for a lump sum for all the animals or for a separate price for each.

The exception is when it can be shown by the vendee that he would not have purchased the sound ones without those which are defective. (see Art. 1556, par. 1.) Such intention need not be established by the vendee but shall be presumed when a team, yoke, pair or set is bought unless the vendor proves the contrary.

Although Article 1572 provides only for redhibitory actions, it does not bar the right of the vendee to bring an action quantiminoris. (see Arts. 1580, 1567.)

Article 1573(own explanation and give example)

Sale of two or more things together

- The points considered in the preceding article apply also to sale of two or more things where only one or more of them but not all have hidden defects.

Article 1574(own explanation and give example)

Sale of animals at fairs or at public auctions or as condemned

- This article is a limitation to the provisions of Article 1570. It is based on the assumption that the defects must have been clearly known to the buyer.

Since the law does not make any distinction, the public auc-tions referred to may be judicial or extrajudicial. Sale of animals as condemned precludes all idea of warranty against hidden de-fects. (Art. 1561.) Such animals are bought not because of their quality or capacity for work.

Article 1575(own explanation and give example)

When sale of animals void

- The article declares the class of animals which cannot be the object of commerce animals suffering from contagious diseases and those found unfit for the use or service stated.

The sale of such animals is void as against public interest and not merely subject to rescission or reduction of the price. (Art. 1567.)
