Nice to meet you! Could you please let me know the nature of the legal issue Bright Tech Solutions is facing?
Bright Tech Solutions, a wholesaler of electronic goods, entered into a contract with SmartMart
Retailers, a retail store, on 1st July *, for the supply of * mobile phones at a unit price of ₹*,*,
amounting to a total of ₹*,*,*.
As per the agreed terms:
SmartMart Retailers was required to make the payment in two equal installments.
The first installment of ₹*,*,* was paid before delivery, and the mobile phones were
delivered on 10th July *.
The second installment of ₹*,*,* was due within 30 days of delivery (i.e., by 10th August
*).
Got it. Has SmartMart Retailers failed to make the second installment payment by the due date?
However, SmartMart Retailers failed to pay the second installment, despite repeated reminders from
Bright Tech Solutions. On 15th September *, Bright Tech Solutions sent a legal notice demanding payment within 15 days, but SmartMart Retailers failed to respond. Consequently, Bright Tech
Solutions has filed a civil suit seeking:
Recovery of the outstanding ₹*,*,*.
*% interest per annum on the due amount.
Legal costs incurred in filing the suit.
SmartMart Retailers, in their defense, claim:
* mobile phones from the supplied batch were defective, resulting in financial losses.
They repeatedly informed Bright Tech Solutions about the defects, but no corrective action was
taken.
Due to the defects, they seek a deduction of ₹*,*,* and are willing to pay only ₹*,*,*
instead of ₹*,*,*.
This appears to be a commercial dispute between Bright Tech Solutions and SmartMart Retailers. Here are some general points to consider:
- Contract Terms: Review the original contract for terms regarding payment, defects, and remedies.
- Legal Notice: Bright Tech Solutions has taken the correct step by issuing a legal notice.
- Defects Claim: SmartMart Retailers must provide evidence of the defects and their communication to Bright Tech Solutions.
- Interest and Costs: Courts often award interest and legal costs if the claim is found valid.
