Practice question
A buyer is legally entitled to reject nonconforming goods and promptly notifies the seller. No agreement requires the buyer to return them personally, and the buyer has not volunteered to become their depositary. The seller insists rejection is ineffective until the buyer transports them back at personal expense. Which is correct?
- Every rejecting buyer must personally return the goods
- Article 1587 generally makes notice of rightful refusal sufficient; a voluntary depositary undertaking would have separate consequences
- Notification never has legal effect
- The buyer automatically owns all rejected goods
- The seller may ignore lawful rejection forever
