Question

DBExplanation:A) This statement is correct because if the dog, which is a specific item, died after the delivery date without anyone's fault, Mr. X would still be liable due to the delay in delivery. The principle here is that the risk does not pass to the buyer until delivery has been made.B) "Res perit domino" means "the thing is lost to the owner." This principle generally applies, but in this context, it is incorrect because it suggests Mr. Y, the buyer, would bear the loss even though the dog was never delivered to him. The risk of loss does not pass to the buyer until the goods are delivered, so Mr. X, the seller, should bear the loss.C) "Genus nunquam perit" means "a species never perishes." This principle is not applicable here because it refers to generic goods, not to specific, identified goods like "Auger" the dog. Therefore, this statement is incorrect in this context.D) This statement is also incorrect because it misapplies the principle of "genus nunquam perit." Since "Auger" is a specific dog and not a generic item, this principle does not apply. The loss should be borne by Mr. X, the seller, because the risk of loss for specific goods remains with the seller until delivery.
