Edgewood Shoe Factories, Division of General Shoe Corp. v. Stewart

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• reversing a Middle District of Alabama decision, holding a contract which did not contain an agreement for the consignee to either buy the shoes or return them was still a consignment contract and physical possession of the shoes did not pass title to consignee
• in ambiguous transactions look to the parties to determine if they are buyer and seller or consignor and consignee
• when an obligation arises for the alleged consignee to buy and pay for delivered goods, such that a suit could be maintained by the alleged consignor as creditor, the transaction is a sale or agreement to sell and not a consignment for sale
