Principle: Caveat emptor, i.e., 'let the buyer beware' stands for the practical skill and judgement of the buyer in his choice of goods for purchase. It is the business of the buyer to judge for himself that what he buys has its use and worth for him. Once bought, and if the buy is not up to his expectations, then he alone is to blame and no one else. Facts: For the purpose of making uniform for the employees, A bought a dark blue coloured cloth from B but did not disclose to the seller B the specific purpose of the said purchase. When uniforms were prepared and used by the employees, the cloth was found unfit. However, the cloth was fit for a variety of other purposes (such as making caps, boots and carriage lining, etc). Applying the aforestated principle, which of the following derivations is correct with regard to remedy available to A in the given situation?
