Advising on the legal implications of Tobi’s sale of goods due to emergency.

Question

Jaga contracted Tobi, a transporter, to deliver a trailer-load of bagged salt from Lagos to a customer in Abuja. Midway on the journey and in a remote village, it started raining and the salt was melting as the consignment was exposed. In order to prevent total loss of the consignment, Tobi quickly stopped at the nearest market and sold the wet salt to a buyer at half price.

Jaga is annoyed with Tobi and intends to sue the buyer to recover the salt, claiming that Tobi had no authority to act on his behalf.

Required:
Advise Jaga on his intended action against the buyer.
