Sale of Goods Act, 1930

Corporate & Other Laws

Here in this question highlighted in the image, J, the principal orders his agent P to sell his( J ) car for a price not less than 50k. But, the agent has actually sold that at 40k as against the order. Law says that the buyer will get a good title to the car. But, J is not satisfied with the sale. Can J sue his agent P for breaking the order? If so, what are the remedies? Here in book, only the effects relating to the buyer is given. The question also provides that the agent has misappropriated the money. Please clear my doubt.

Question specifically is with respect to buyer, so answer is complete in that sense. As for J's action against P, his agent - it shall be liable for any loss sustained by J. This is discussed in detail at CA Inter level
