Reduction in price
If a buyer is not entitled to damages when a seller delivers nonconforming goods , the buyer will be entitled to a reduction in price . 148 this remedy has its origins in the roman law remedy of actio quanti minoris , 149 a remedy commonplace in civil law countries but generally unknown in the common law world .at the proceedings leading up to the adoption of cisg , many delegates argued that the price reduction remedy is little different from damages ,and therefore served no real purpose . nevertheless , most representatives from the civil law countries felt that it was different , and eventually it was incorporated in the convention.
