Systems Consultants, Inc. v. Eng Enterprises, Inc.

182 S.E.2d 188, 123 Ga. App. 641, 9 U.C.C. Rep. Serv. (West) 464, 1971 Ga. App. LEXIS 1328

Opinion

Quillian, Judge.

The appellant filed a claim against the appellee on an account and the appellee filed a counterclaim. The trial judge, hearing the case without the intervention of a jury, found for the appellee on its counterclaim in the amount of $1,000 which was the amount of its down payment on the purchase price. The appellant filed an appeal to this court and the case is here for review. Held:

There was evidence that the appellee purchased a system, consisting of several components, which was supposed to expedite order-taking and food preparation in a fast-food franchise operation.

The evidence, while in conflict, would support a finding that: the system would not function to meet the special purpose of the appellee; the appellant had stated that the system would be suitable for these purposes; the appellee notified the appellant within a reasonable time after the acceptance that the system was not performing properly; the appellee attempted to negotiate a settlement with the appellant; after negotiations failed, the appellee asserted a revocation of the acceptance. Under these circumstances, the evidence supported the verdict. Code Ann. § 109A-2— 607 (3 a) (Ga. L. 1962, pp. 156, 215); Code Ann. § 109A-2 — 608 (Ga. L. 1962, pp. 156, 216); Code Ann. § 109A-2 — 711 (Ga. L. 1962, pp. 156, 228); Duesenberg-King, Sales & Bulk Transfers under UCC, Vol. 3, § 14.02 [2] [i], p. 14-20.
