ABSTRACT

Nash v Inman (1908) CA The plaintiff was a tailor of Saville Row. He had sold to an undergraduate at Cambridge University ‘clothing of an extravagant and ridiculous style having regard to the position of the boy’ (per Buckley LJ), ‘including an extravagant number of waistcoats’ (per Fletcher Moulton LJ). The plaintiff now sued for the price of the clothes, £145. The undergraduate’s father gave evidence that his son had been supplied with sufficient clothes on going up to Cambridge.
