Question juridique clé
Whether the buyer's defect notice of 22 January 1999 met the substantiation requirements of Art. 201 OR.
Solution extraite
The notice was sufficiently substantiated because it identified the delivery as qualitatively far below prior deliveries, stated that many logs were only of packaging quality, and made clear that the goods were not accepted as contractual performance.
Motifs extraits
A notice need only inform the seller, according to good faith and the circumstances, of the nature and extent of the alleged defects so the seller can understand what is being complained of; it need not give a detailed item-by-item analysis.
