Newspaper ads that include colors, photos and artwork to attract readers attention are considered displays. Displays are very important because they attract the attention of the readers in areas where the simple text in the columns do not. It’s also important that the displays are different and exciting. They need to catch the readers eye, and give interesting information

This Act protects consumers from misleading descriptions which the business has said about their products and services. It would be a criminal offence if the business trader was to:

Good value products, means that the product is worth the money paid. This is the minimum expected from any business, whether it be through a products or service. This means that we expect a better quality product/service, for a higher amount of money. An example of this is you would expect a better quality TV if you paid £400; than if you paid £50. The top

The Importance of Appearance vs Reality People often try to present products, or themselves, in a way that makes them seem superior; inevitably, the public is put in a position where they do not know what to believe. For example, while watching TV an ad for a popular fast food company interrupts the show, the commercial advertises their newest flavor-filled burger. When reaching the window, the drive-thru worker hands off a depressing burger stuffed between a cardboard bun. This is a case of appearance versus reality. The expectation was a delicious meal because that is what the company wanted people to see.

The law of attribution allows Unwins to claim against Redgate through the identification principle. It means that the company will be liable for acts committed by the “directing mind” of the company . The case of Tesco Supermarket v Nattrass provided that this principle concerned directors, managing directors and if a person is the “embodiment of the company” . Since Harriet is the sole director and the only member of Redgate, this principle will apply as she is the embodiment of the company. This means that if Harriet is found guilty of breaching s.212 or 213, her actions will be attributed to Redgate and the company itself will be liable as well. If Redgate is claimed against, the court may require that Redgate contributes compensation to Unwins and this would mean that the flat in Chiswick would need to be sold in order to pay this. However, there is a charge over the property by West London Finance PLC (WLF) and this is by way of legal mortgage so Redgate would have to pay back this mortgage before the money could be used to pay Unwins. The mortgage remaining is £200,000 (with no interest to be paid as it is an interest only mortgage so this has been paid already) and the property is now worth £380,000. Therefore, after WLF have had their mortgage payment satisfied, there will be £180,000 left which Redgate might have to contribute to Unwins as compensation.

The Sale of Goods Act 1979 controls English law transactions between the purchaser and the seller of goods; it also applies to contracts where involving a transfer of the property in goods or an agreement to transfer a consideration in money.
