Barnard V. Compugraphic Corp‪.‬

On April 18, 1978, Mr. and Mrs. Barnard, who owned a commercial printing business, contracted with Compugraphic Corporation to purchase a typeset machine -- the EditWriter 7500. This action was brought by the Barnards against Compugraphic for damages due to malfunctioning of the EditWriter and two replacement machines. After a bench trial, the court awarded damages to the Barnards, finding Compugraphic breached implied and express warranties and negligently misrepresented the capability, suitability, reliability, serviceability, and profitability of the EditWriter. Both parties appeal from that award.
