Actually under the sale of goods act they have reasonable time to affect repair or replacement which is four weeks/28 days. Which section of the SoG Act states that period please? |

The act states reasonable time but nothing specific, but legal precidence has limited it. You will find that if you go to small claims they will accept 28 days because of prior judgements. |

There have been no judgments as yet on the Mar 31st amendments. -- Peter Parry. http://www.wpp.ltd.uk/ |

I am referring to Statutory Instrument 2002 No. 3045 The Sale and Supply of Goods to Consumers Regulations 2002 which became effective on 31 Mar 2003. Trading standards will tell you to wait 28 days and that is reasonable to expect a repair, replacement or refund. They will tell you nothing of the sort. SI 3045 introduces two requirements. The first is to " repair or, as the case may be, replace the goods within a reasonable time" the second is "but without causing significant inconvenience to the buyer". There have as yet been no cases to test exactly what these mean but clearly they cannot be separated. It might not cause significant inconvenience to take 28 days to repair a lawnmower in November, it will certainly do so in July. There is no fixed period. -- Peter Parry. http://www.wpp.ltd.uk/ |
