One of B.C.’s largest retailers is alleging that a supplier would not give it credit for returned goods that were defective.
London Drugs claims in its February 12 notice of civil claim that 807447 Ontario Ltd., doing business as Dana Trading Co., provided various unspecified goods to the department store chain.
The two companies have been doing business together since they signed an agreement in February 2004.
The terms of that agreement, London Drugs alleges, were that:
- all goods that Dana Trading provided would be as good as an original sample that they provided;
- all goods that Dana Trading provided would be free of damage and defects in material, workmanship and design; and
- London Drugs could return to Dana Trading all damaged and defective goods and be credited for the price of those goods within 30 days.
Between May 2006 and October 2010, London Drugs alleges that it returned damaged, returned or rejected goods to Dana Trading and as of October 5, 2010, the total amount of the returned goods was $52,474.
“The defendant has refused or neglected to provide any payment in respect of the debt owing to London Drugs within 30 days of payment request, in accordance with the terms of the agreement,” London Drugs alleges in its notice of civil claim.
No statement of defence had been filed by press time.
None of the allegations has been proven in court.
