A owes B 2,000 rupees. B accepts some of A's goods in reduction of the debt. What is the legal effect of the delivery of the goods?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Illustration (c) to section 50: "The delivery of goods operates as a part payment." Performance may be made in any manner the promisee sanctions, and B sanctioned payment in goods. Because B took the goods only in reduction of the debt, not in satisfaction of the whole, the balance remains due.
