Case Facts & Court Holding
Key Facts & Case Background
Nathan Gappelberg purchased a new Advent television from Neely Landrum. The set immediately exhibited numerous substantial defects. Despite several repair attempts by Landrum and an authorized agency, the problems persisted, and the set eventually ceased operating entirely approximately three weeks after purchase. Gappelberg then notified Landrum of his revocation of acceptance, demanding a refund and return of his trade-in. Landrum, having already committed the trade-in as a prize, offered to replace the defective television with another new Advent set. Gappelberg refused the replacement. The trial court found that Gappelberg accepted the set without knowledge of the defects, timely revoked acceptance after discovering them, and that the defects substantially impaired the television’s value. However, the trial court and court of appeals held that the seller had a right to cure by replacement even after revocation.
