Opdracht 1. Sigma
Sigma Alimentos S.A., headquartered in San Pedro Garza Garcia (Mexico), a
Mexican agricultural producer, sent a written document to ALDI, a large
German supermarket chain on May 4, 2019, stating that they were ready to sell
an amount of very special, rare avocados at a price of € 0,10 per unit. The
document arrived the next day. The price, the quality of the goods and the time
and place of delivery were quite good. Thus, ALDI replied that they accepted,
by sending a written notice on May 10, which arrived the next morning. Sigma
Alimentos confirmed by replying via e-mail one day later.
In the afternoon of May 13, Sigma Alimentos received a mail from JUMBO, a
large Dutch enterprise, with an order three times larger than the one from ALDI.
Sigma Alimentos’ export manager was so stressed out that he called ALDI
saying that the deal was off.
ALDI is threatening with a lawsuit since they had already incurred in financial
expenses for which they request your legal advice. Give a motivation and mention the relevant articles with each answer!
