In a situation of a breach of warranty as to quality, such loss is prima facieР’В the difference between the value of the goods at the time they were delivered and the value they would have been had they answered to the warranty S.53(3). The measure of damages for a breach of warranty is the estimated loss that results directly and naturally from the breach of such warranty S.53(2). He can however set the breach of warranty in diminution or extinction of the price S.53(1)(a). According to the provision of S.53(1) of the Sales of Goods Act, where there is a breach of a warranty or the buyer elects, or is compelled to treat the breach of a condition as a breach of warranty, such breach would not entitle him to reject the goods. Remedy For a Breach of WarrantyР”Р„ warranty has been earlier defined in S.11(1)(b) of the SOGA as a stipulation in a contract the breach of which would not give rise to a repudiation of the contract but only an action for damages. The order could be unconditional or could be done according to the terms and conditions which the courts think to be just. The Sales of Goods Act provides in S.52 that in an action for breach of contract concerning specific or ascertained goods, the court may, on the application of the plaintiff, order that the defendant specifically performs the contract, without him having the option of retaining the goods on the payment of damages. This is used in order to order a defaulting party to do his own part of the contract. If there is no stipulated tike for delivery, the relevant time would be thge time when the seller refused to deliver the goods S.51(3). If there is a market for the goods, then the measure of damages is prima facie the difference between the market price and the contract price at the time(s) the goods were supposed to be delivered. The measurement of damages is the estimated loss resulting naturally from the sellerРІР‚в„ўs breach of the contract S.51(2). This action is applied when the seller neglects or wrongfully refuses to deliver the goods to the buyer S.51(1) SOGA. There are three actions that have been made available to the buyer in case of the breach of a contract of sale. If no time for acceptance was fixed, the relevant time would be the time that the buyer rejected the goods S.50(3) SOGA. Where the buyer wrongfully refuses to accept and pay for the goods, the seller can maintain an action against him for damages for non-acceptance S.50(1) SOGA.Р’В The measure of damages is the estimated natural loss that results from the buyerРІР‚в„ўs breach of the contract S.50(2).Р’В Where there is an available market for the goods, the damages to be paid would prima facie be the difference between the market price and the contract price at the time(s) the buyer was supposed to accept the goods. This action is used when the buyer refuses to take acceptance for the goods and the seller suffers losses as a result of thisРІР‚в„ў Where under a contract of sale, the property in the goods have been transferred to the buyer but he refuses to pay the price, the seller can maintain an action for the price against the buyer S.49(1) SOGA.Р’В If according to the contract of sale, the price of the goods is to be paid on a particular day irrespective of whether the goods are to be delivered or not, if that date elapses and the buyer hasnРІР‚в„ўt paid, the seller can bring an action for the price whether or not property in the goods has passed to the buyer 49(2) SOGA. Action For The PriceР”Р„n action for the price is a situation in which the seller asks the court to force the buyer to pay the price agreed upon by both parties in the contract of sale. These two remedies would be subsequently highlighted below. The main actions available to the seller in case of a breach of contract of sale are an action for the price and damages for non-acceptance. The actions available to the seller would first be examined, followed by the actions available to the buyer. The sales of goods act provides for actions that can be undertaken by either buyer or seller if there is a breach of the contract of sale by any of the parties.
