The plaintiff, Computron, purchased wholesale quantities of Beats headphones from the defendant Ladhani, who had sourced them from the defendant Techlogics.
Computron later ordered more headphones directly from Techlogics.
Upon discovering the headphones were counterfeit, Computron sought refunds.
Computron and Ladhani brought motions for summary judgment against Techlogics, arguing they were duped into believing the goods were authentic.
The court found the sales were 'sales by description' under the Sale of Goods Act, implying a condition of authenticity.
The court rejected Techlogics' defence that the buyers knew the goods were inauthentic 'OEM' products.
Summary judgment was granted to Computron against Ladhani and Techlogics, and to Ladhani against Techlogics for breach of contract.
