Problem
Tyler's Sport's Bar and Grill ordered twenty cases of vintage wine from a winery in Southern France. The Contract called for the wine to be shipped "CIF" aboard a vessel leaving Nice and arriving at the Port of Philadelphia on the Delaware River two weeks later. When Joe Roberts uncorked the first bottle soon after the shipment arrived, he discovered that all of the wine had spoiled. A sample bottle had been tested prior to shipment and no problem was detected. Robert is now wondering what, if any, legal action he may take to recover the cost of the wine.
Questions:
1. In what court and against what parties may Tyler's bring the action for the spoiled wine?
2. Based upon what laws will this matter proceed?
3. Who do you believe will win the lawsuit? Please explain
