Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court·Decided May 9, 1887·Published·Cited by 3 cases

Opinion

Holmes, J.

If a refrigerating company undertakes to store apples at a temperature below a certain height, decay caused, as it was shown to be in this case, by the temperature being allowed to reach a much greater height, is the specific consequence which the contract was made to prevent; and, if the decay causes a diminution of market value, such diminution may be considered as an element of damage. Exceptions overruled.
