Section 59
(1)

Where there is a breach of warranty by the seller, or where the buyer elects or is compelled to treat any breach of a condition on the part of the seller as a breach of warranty, the buyer is not by reason only of such breach of warranty entitled to reject the goods; but he may—

(a)

set up against the seller the breach of warranty in diminution or extinction of the price; or

(b)

sue the seller for damages for breach of warranty.

(2)

The fact that a buyer has set up a breach of warranty in diminution of the price does not prevent him suing for the same breach of warranty if he has suffered further damage.
