Consumer law has continually evolved in order to maintain its ability to protect consumers within the ever-changing modern marketplace - progressing from the common law notion of caveat emptor to an intensive legal framework recognising the fundamental need for consumer protections. While much of this contemporary framework - comprised of statutory bodies, law courts and tribunals, and working in conjunction with a myriad of other non-legal avenues - is highly effective in its delivery of justice, there remain areas of concern currently inadequate in safeguarding rights. Thus, although legal and non-legal measures…

    COMMERCIAL LAW Student number: 1400547; Word count:2,173 words The Sale of Goods Act 1979 is a consolidation of the 1893 act and subsequent legislation which places numerous legal obligations on business sellers apart from the agreed express contractual terms. These terms, although not expressly provided for in the contract are fictionally ‘incorporated’ into the contract for consumer protection and also because the contract does not make any commercial sense without them, they are referred to as implied terms. The statutory implied terms that concern sale of goods are embedded in section 13-15 of the 1979 act and in practice do not affect each other like in Arcos Ltd v E A Ronaasen & Son where the goods were of satisfactory quality and fit…
