Eczema Product Liability Case
Summary
Macchiato may have a case under the Singapore Sale of Goods Act, focusing on Section 14(3) for implied warranty of fitness for purpose. Despite the informal nature of the transaction, if Fresh Glow was not suitable for treating eczema, it could breach this warranty. Additionally, Section 21 addresses unauthorized sales, which may apply if Espresso sold the product without proper authority. The Crowther v Shannon Motor Company case can be referenced for implied terms and consumer reliance. Legal obligations may still apply even if the transaction was a personal favor.Full Conversation
Using the most relevant sections of Singapore Sale of goods act, how can Macchiato win this case?
Under the Singapore Sale of Goods Act, here are some relevant points that Macchiato might consider:

- Description: If the product did not match any description given, it could be grounds for a claim.
- Remedies for Breach: If there’s a breach of the terms, Macchiato could potentially claim damages or a refund.

*. Espresso was still acting as an informal distributor/agent which still leads to a breach in
- Section * of the Sale of Goods Act
- Subject to this Act, where goods are sold by a person who is not their owner, and who does not sell them under the authority or with the consent of the owner, the buyer acquires no better title to the goods than the seller had, unless the owner of the goods is by his conduct precluded from denying the seller’s authority to sell. AKA Nemo dat quod non habet which means "no one can give what they do not have" money as it does not imply anywhere that Macchiato had given her the money before hand, only after the transaction did she pay. Therefore, by purchasing it, Espresso then becomes liable for the selling and distribution of the Fresh Glow, which we also know was sold WITHOUT the company's consent. Considering it was labelled a "personal favor".
It seems like Macchiato may have a case under the Singapore Sale of Goods Act, specifically regarding:
- Section * (Nemo dat quod non habet): Espresso, without proper authority, sold a product he did not own. This can be a breach.
- Implied Terms: If "Fresh Glow" was not fit for its intended purpose, it might breach implied conditions of quality and fitness.

does my answer make sense, does espresso still count as an informal agent and why
Case Rating: *
Your answer makes sense in the context of the Singapore Sale of Goods Act. Espresso could be considered an informal agent or distributor if he sold the product without proper authority or consent from the owner, which might lead to a breach under Section *. This is because he facilitated the transaction and acted as an intermediary, even if it was as a personal favor. If Macchiato decides to pursue this legally, these points could be key in building her case.

is this a commercial or non commercial sale
Case Rating: *
This appears to be a non-commercial sale. Espresso acted informally and not as an authorized distributor or business entity. The transaction was more of a personal favor rather than a commercial business transaction.

was there any intent to do a legal transaction and not a personal favor and how?

how can macchiato win using the crowther vs shannon motor company *
