22-4 The Right to Recover Damages

Woodridge USA Properties LP, bought eighty-seven commercial truck trailers from Southeast Trailer Mart, Inc. (STM). Gerald McCarty, an independent sales agent who arranged the deal, showed Woodridge the document of title. They did not indicate that Woodridge was the buyer. Woodridge asked McCarty to sell the trailers, and within three months they were sold, but McCarty did not give the proceeds to Woodridge. Woodridge without mentioning the title documents, asked STM to refund the contract price. STM refused. Does Woodridge have a right to recover damages from STM? Explain.
