SUIT FOR INTEREST



 Suit for interest:

 (1) Nothing in this Act shall auect the right of the seller or the buyer to recover interest or special damages, in any case where by law interest or special damages may be recoverable, or to recover the money paid where the consideration for the payment of it has failed.

(2) In the absence of a contract to the contrary, the court may award interest at such rate as it thinks fit on the amount of the price to the buyer in a suit by him for the refund of the price in a case of a breach of the contract on the part of the seller-from the date on which the payment was made.

Example 1: In case of a sale of cigarettes which turned out to be mildewed and unfit for consumption, damages were awarded on the basis of the diuerence between the contract price and the price released.

Example 2: In case of absence of transfer of title or registration the purchaser cannot claim damages for breach of conditions and warranties relating to sale.
