Case 15-3 KALAS v. COOK
Appellate Court of Connecticut, 2002
FACTS: A print shop manufactured and delivered written materials
designed by the buyer for the buyer’s use and sale. After the
buyer’s death, the executor of her estate refused to pay for the
last deliveries of materials. Kalas, the plaintiff, filed suit against
the defendant, Edward Cook, executor of the estate.
The plaintiff argues that these were specially manufactured
goods, and therefor had no way of selling them otherwise. The
court rendered a judgment in favor of the plaintiff in the amount
of 24,599.38. The defendant is appealing.
ISSUE: Are these specially manufactured goods?
Is the defendant responsible because they cannot be sold
anywhere else?
DECISION: The decision was upheld and the original plaintiff was awarded
to keep the money.
REASON: The court came to this judgment because they were specially
manufactured goods. Since these goods were made specifically
for the decedent, they could not be sold anywhere else. Because
of this, there was no written requirement and the plaintiff was
able to keep the money from the sale of goods.
