PAOLA v OCE COPYING EQUIPMENT [1999] NSWCA 169

PAOLA v OCE COPYING EQUIPMENT [1999] NSWCA 169

The appeal was dismissed because the alleged ninety day consignment warranty did not become part of the guarantee as an objectively intended contractual term, there was in any event no breach because Condor OA Pty Limited did not stay within its credit terms, and the new construction point concerning the written guarantee was both untenable and precluded by principles preventing fresh issues on appeal.
