A contract made in England and governed by English law for the sale of specific goods situated in Germany, although it would be effective to pass the property in the goods at the moment the contract was made if the goods were situate in England, would not have that effect if under German law as I believe to be the case delivery of the goods was required in order to transfer the property in them.

On the 28th March, , Kendall sold to Grimsdale metric tons of Brazilian ground nut extractions eventually shipped in the s. These sellers were brought into this action as fifth parties by Colombo but at the time of the trial the fifth party proceedings were still incomplete and they formed no part of the action which was tried. Judgment was given in favour of Colombo. Their contract goods were carried in the s.

Grimsdale have appealed against the judgment in favour of Colombo and seek in this Court to make them liable along with Recall if they, Grimsdale are to be held liable to the defendants in accordance with Mr. Justice Havers' decision. These transactions were all on Contract No. They were c.

Of these substantial parcels imported by Lillico and Grimsdale only relatively small quantities were passed on to the defendants. On the 8th April, , Lillico orally sold to the defendants 36 tons of Brazilian ground nut meal ex quay London to be delivered 12 tons in April, May and June. Grimsdale made an oral sale of 30 tons to the defendants on the 27th April for June shipment on terms "3 day rate London".

As the defendants were short of ground nut meal 6 tons were delivered from the s. Some slight argument was based on this circumstance but it has little effect on the case. The identity of the offending meal was sufficiently traced to deliveries under all the contracts set out above and no consignment has been held to escape because it was free from the toxic condition. The various purchases were therefore delivered in London from six different ships in which the goods had been shipped some time during April, May or June and the consignments were all to some extent affected by a condition which had arisen before shipment.

Apparently in the hot and wet climatic conditions which had prevailed in Brazil during the relevant season the ground nut extractions had developed in storage a mould, aspergillus flavus, which was poisonous, and the toxic factor has been named "aflatoxin". The judgment finds the evidence overwhelming in reaching the conclusion that aflatoxin in theBrazilian ground nut meal was responsible for the death or deterioration of the birds the subject-matter of the present claim and in wider areas also.

In the court below an effort was made to blame nitrofurazone or embazin as being substances in whole or in part responsible for the killing of the birds, lo reliance was placed on such a submission before us.

As no issues were fought in the court below between the plaintiffs and the defendants no decisions were reached on the various grounds of liability which the plaintiffs had alleged. As the defendants were supplying compounded meal specially made up for food for pheasants and as they knew the plaintiffs were buying it for the purpose of feeding to pheasants and in all the circumstances of the relationship of those parties there can be no doubt that liability arose under section 14 1 of the Sale of Goods Act, , and the defendants admitted liability under both sub-sections 1 and 2 of section 14 of the Act.

But additional grounds of liability were alleged and the defendants raised against the third parties and the third parties against the fourth parties all the grounds pleaded by the plaintiffs originally.
