The Old expression, "If you cut the goods, you own the goods" is not good law!

1. If you can see the defect in the goods, and you cut same, the cutter owns the goods.
2. However, if the defect cannot be seen or cannot be detected under normal testing, the cutter may not be responsible for payment of the goods.
3. The ISSUE always will be whether or not the buyer of the goods should have examined the goods or tested the goods beyond what was normal under the circumstances.

IF YOU HAVE this type of problem, feel free to call (818) 385-1469 for further advice.
