To gain an understanding of law and legal aspects, the challenges faced by organizations and their respective supply chain relationships.
Description: Grindley Ltd agreed to buy four computer-controlled lathes from a German company, Simmenthal Technik GmbH, to be delivered one by one at monthly intervals from 1 December 2015 to 1 March 2016, each machine was to be invoiced and paid for separately.
The first lathe arrived without incident and was installed by the Simmenthal engineer in Grindley’s factory. It was linked to Grindley’s Megamaster computer, tested, and commissioned on 12 December. The invoice was paid on 11 January. Meanwhile, when the second lathe arrived, the German engineer had found that the Grindley factory was closed not merely on 1 & 2 January (Friday & Saturday, but the whole of the following week because of an extended Christmas and New Year holiday). When the engineer finally obtained access, he discovered that there was no power source within thirty feet of the space allocated to the machine. He returned to Germany. Following the hurried installation of new conduit by Grindley’s electrical contractor, the lathe was eventually commissioned 19 February by another engineer flown over for the purpose.
By this time the third lathe had still not arrived. This was because the ship on which it had been dispatched had been in a collision as the result of negligence of the navigating officer, and had to be put into Rotterdam for repairs, during which it was discovered that the 4 collision had caused some plates to spring below the water line, allowing sea water to enter the hold. The lathe destined for Grindley was among the cargo damaged. It also transpired that, owing to an error in the Simmenthal office, the cargo was not insured. Grindley forthwith cancelled the order for the fourth lathe, and Simmenthal are threatening to sue them.
Examine the legal rights and duties in respect of the second, third and fourth lathes.
