New York Court of Appeals
The Standard Casing Company, Inc., Respondent v. California Casing Company, Inc., Appellant
May 31, 1922233 N.Y. 413
Summary
The Court held that under a contract stating price f.o.b. San Francisco, title and risk passed to the buyer when the goods were delivered to the carrier, so the seller's performance was complete at shipment and damages must be measured by the market value at the shipment point, not the destination. The judgment of the lower courts was reversed and a new trial granted.
