Chandelor v. Lopus
Exchequer Chamber
[1603] Cro.Jac. 4
- Written by Eric Miller, JD
Facts
Lopus (plaintiff) purchased what he believed to be a bezoar stone from a goldsmith, Chandelor (defendant). Chandelor claimed the object was a bezoar stone, but this proved false. Chandelor made no warranty, and it was not known whether Chandelor himself believed the object to be a bezoar stone. Lopus brought an action against Chandelor. The King’s Bench ruled in favor of Lopus. The case then came before the Exchequer Chamber on appeal.
