Editor's notes.

- In light of the similarity of the issues dealt with under the provisions, decisions under former Code 1933, § 96-306 are included in the annotations for this section.

Right to return purchase price.

- Upon cancellation, buyer is entitled under O.C.G.A. § 11-2-711(1), to return of purchase price. Jacobs v. Metro Chrysler-Plymouth, Inc., 125 Ga. App. 462, 188 S.E.2d 250 (1972).

Election between revocation and damages for breach.

- A buyer is no longer required to elect between revocation and damages for breach, but this does not mean that the buyer cannot elect if the buyer so chooses. Jacobs v. Metro Chrysler-Plymouth, Inc., 125 Ga. App. 462, 188 S.E.2d 250 (1972).

Revocation of acceptance does not constitute a cancellation of a contract. Poultry Health Serv. of Ga., Inc. v. Moxley, 538 F. Supp. 276 (S.D. Ga. 1982).

Cancellation is merely a remedy for the revoking buyer and not an unavoidable result of revocation. Poultry Health Serv. of Ga., Inc. v. Moxley, 538 F. Supp. 276 (S.D. Ga. 1982).

Reacceptance of goods.

- A buyer who has attempted to reject rather than to accept goods may nonetheless accept them by virtue of buyer's post-rejection conduct with respect to them. Likewise, a buyer who purports to revoke acceptance of goods may be found to have reaccepted them if, after such revocation, the buyer performs acts which are inconsistent with the seller's ownership of the goods. Griffith v. Stovall Tire & Marine, Inc., 174 Ga. App. 137, 329 S.E.2d 234 (1985).

Recovery of automobile's purchase price and interest.

- Cause of action for breach of implied warranty that automobile was reasonably suited for purpose intended, permitted recovery of total purchase price paid plus interest only in event the merchandise was completely worthless. Brown v. Moore, 103 Ga. App. 111, 118 S.E.2d 591 (1961)(decided under former Code 1933, § 96-306).

Issues of fact.

- Issues such as whether an effective revocation of acceptance was made, whether reasonable notification of revocation was given to the seller, and whether the value of the goods was substantially impaired are ordinarily matters for determination by the trier of fact, even where the buyer has continued to use nonconforming goods after an alleged revocation of acceptance. Griffith v. Stovall Tire & Marine, Inc., 174 Ga. App. 137, 329 S.E.2d 234 (1985).

Whether plaintiff-buyer has made cover purchases in reasonable manner poses classic jury issue. American Carpet Mills v. Gunny Corp., 649 F.2d 1056 (5th Cir. 1981).

Instructions.

- Where the court fully instructed the jury as to the determinative contract and warranty principles involved in the case, and the charge was adjusted to the evidence, it is not reversible error to fail to charge the precise language of UCC provisions outlining rules and recourses for buyers and sellers. Teledyne Indus., Inc. v. Patron Aviation, Inc., 161 Ga. App. 596, 288 S.E.2d 911 (1982).
