Shanklin Pier v Detel Products [1951] 2 KB 854 FACTS: The plaintiffs, the owners of a pier, entered into a contract with a contractor to have the pier repaired and repainted. Under the terms of this contract, the plaintiffs had the right to specify the paint to be used by the contractor. On the faith of statements made by the defendants to the plaintiffs with regard to the defendants' paint and its fitness for painting the pier, the plaintiffs specified the paint to the contractor who bought the necessary quantity from the defendants. The paint proved to be quite unsuitable for painting the pier. The plaintiffs contended that the statements made to them by the defendants with regard to the suitability of the paint were enforceable warranties given in consideration of their specifying the paint to their contractor. HELD: The defendants' statements constituted a binding warranty, the breach of which entitled the plaintiffs to damages.
