More details to this question:
I know that sellers are responsible for the damage caused to goods during the delivery, but I just could not find any court's judgement in favoring the seller's right in the case. How could I defend my respondent?
1 ANSWER
Sellers are not necessarily responsible for damage incurred in delivery. It depends on the shipping terms of the parties' contract and when the buyer takes title to the goods. If you're looking for possible defenses, you should look at the case annotations under UCC 2-319 and under "Sales" in the west key number system.
