Description
This review is of cross-appeals taken by the defendant Fidelity and Casualty Company of New York and defendant-third party plaintiff Gorman-Taber Company. The litigation was the culmination of this sequence of events: Beardsley Construction Company became the general contractor for a sewage treatment plant. As a condition of the undertaking Beardsley obtained from Fidelity and Casualty Company of New York a performance bond to guarantee payment by the contractor and sub-contractor of all supplies, material and labor. Gorman-Taber Company [Gorman-Taber] was designated subcontractor on the project and found it necessary to purchase certain equipment from Coffman Industries, Inc. for $16,770. When the equipment was delivered some was damaged and unusable. Gorman-Taber paid $15,000 toward the invoice price and made a new order in the amount of $7,352 to replace the damaged equipment. A dispute arose between Gorman-Taber and Coffman as to who assumed the risk of loss during the first shipment. Coffman claimed it was owed the $7,352.
