H. G. Fischer X-Ray Co. v. Meredith

3 Citing cases

  1. Willard v. Park Industries, Inc.

    69 F. Supp. 2d 268 (D.N.H. 1999)   Cited 9 times

    As there is no common law of breach of warranty in New Hampshire, plaintiff's right of recovery, if any, is governed by New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated (RSA) 382-A:2-313, 2-314, or 2-315. "RSA 382-A:2-314 generally provides that a seller impliedly warrants that his goods are merchantable or generally fit for the `ordinary purposes' for which the goods are used, unless the seller validly excludes or modifies the warranty." Xerox Corp. v. Hawkes, 124 N.H. 610, 616, 475 A.2d 7 (1984); see also H.G. Fischer X-Ray Co. v. Meredith, 121 N.H. 707, 710, 433 A.2d 1306 (1981) ("Absent a valid disclaimer, see RSA 382-A:2-316, any express warranties made by the seller and an implied warranty of merchantability attach to the goods that are the subject of a sale."). If a plaintiff is to succeed on a claim of breach of implied warranty of merchantability, there must be actual proof of such noncompliance with the warranty.

Meredith, 121 N.H. 707, 710, 433 A.2d 1306, 1308 (1981), and a breach of it gives rise to a cause of action for damages, Xerox Corp., 124 N.H. at 616, 475 A.2d at 9; see RSA 382-A:2-714 (1994).
