Saga Solutions v. Sherwin-Williams Co.
Connecticut Superior Court
2002 WL 1145373 (2002)

- Written by Rich Walter, JD
Facts
Dennis Robb worked for Sherwin-Williams Company (defendant). Robb verbally ordered expensive software from Saga Solutions, LLC (Saga) (plaintiff). No written contract was involved in the transaction. Robb received the software but never paid for it. A few months later, after Robb left Sherwin-Williams, Robb’s supervisor found the unopened software package in Robb’s desk. Sherwin-Williams attempted to return the software to Saga, but Saga refused delivery and sued Sherwin-Williams to collect the purchase price. At trial in Connecticut Superior Court, a Sherwin-Williams manager testified that Robb’s software purchase was work-related, and Sherwin-Williams’ lawyer admitted that Robb had agency authority to make such purchases on Sherwin-Williams’ behalf.
