Facts of the Case
Background
The plaintiff company supplied sports uniforms and report books to the defendant school and claimed payment for goods sold and delivered. The defendant denied it was a sale contract, arguing it was an agency arrangement where the school would sell items to students on behalf of the plaintiff. The court found the relationship was one of principal and agent, not sale.
