The Consumer Right Act ( Cra )

There are rules and regulation for everything. The DMV requires certain forms of identification for your driver’s license and the IRS requires you to file your income tax in a certain way to avoid penalty. It is no different when we are talking about the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). NCAA has strict regulation on its players and its member schools that must abide by. Although NCAA regulates pretty much everything through its 427-page manual, some rules were difficult if not impossible to enforce. In the case of Oliver v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, the conflict emerges as Andy Oliver questioned NCAA’s power to regulate in the face of court.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is an administer of the competition and Consumer Act (CCA) which is to prevent collusion among the firms and to prevent the individual firm which break the market equilibrium with their market power.

Brewster Heights Packing, the buyer entered a contract with the seller for the purchase of apple packing machinery. The district court entered judg-ment in favor of the seller on its breach of contract claim. On appeal, the court af-firmed. The buyer contended that both it and the seller intended at the time of their con-tract to be bound by their written agreement and to prior oral discussions. The buyer contended that the largest portion of its damages stemmed from the loss of an orally bargained-for system. The court held that a clause in the parties’ contract prohibited the inclusion of any understandings or representations not expressly included in the con-tract. It appeared that the buyer intended to use the parol evidence not to explain or to supplement the contract, but rather to contradict the limitation of warranties contained in the contract. The court concluded that the buyer’s counterclaims of fraud and viola-tion of the Washington Consumer Protection Act failed because they did not give rise to the independent tort of fraud and there was insufficient evidence to demonstrate an ef-fect on other consumers or a real and substantial potential for repetition of unfair con-duct.

This means that under the company’s current policy, revenue is recognized too early, before delivery, while actual payment is not received until 30 days after customer acceptance or until the 90-day warranty period has ended. Furthermore, the 90 day warranty provision creates an uncertainty in the collectibility of sales proceeds.

The CRA now incorporates a three-tier system to resolve any problems between the consumer and the trader. The degree and nature of the remedies available will depend on the amount of time the consumer has owned the product or on the type of service provided. The first step is when the goods are not satisfactory, in which consumers are entitled to reject them, as provided under Section 22. A full refund can be claimed and must be given without undue delay and this has been covered under Section 20. The second step occurs when the consumer has either lost the chance or not chosen to reject the goods. Under Section 23, the consumer is entitled to claim a repair or replacement of the goods. The trader must repair or

Contracts are part of business law. It is an essential part of business law because it offers a base for businesses to expand and develop within the business/economic society. The 6 main components that form a contract are; offer, acceptance, consideration, intention to be legally bound, capacity to contract and legality of the promises. If one in six of these elements were missing a contract would not exist; it is necessary to include all required aspects into the contract as it is used as evidence. In this essay, the element of acceptance will be discussed immensely with evidence of cases and legislations to weather acceptance is a definite and unqualified assent to an offer, on all of its terms and if any acceptance given conditionally will not result in a legally binding agreement.

The four year old van Bill brought from Arthur’s Cars ‘broke down twice in two weeks’ after purchase, this serves as evidence to the fact that the goods were not reasonably durable when they were supplied. Goods are satisfactory quality if they meet the standard that a reasonable person would regard as satisfactory, Section 14 (2B) of the Sale of Goods Act (as amended by the Sale and Supply of Goods to Consumers Regulations 2002) presents that durability is a factor to be considered in assessing whether goods are of satisfactory quality. As Michael G. Bridge states, ‘The longer the buyer retains the goods, the more scope there is for argument that the goods have lasted long enough; the more the buyer’s own treatment of the goods will bulk large; and the more difficult the buyer will find it to trace the breakdown of the goods to their condition at the date of delivery’ . By the time a durability problem emerges the buyer may, in any case, have lost the right to reject through lapse of a reasonable time however, since the recent reforms under the Sale of Goods Act (as amended by the Sale and Supply of Goods to Consumers Regulations 2002) even when the traditional short term right to reject has been lost (apart from a damages claim), consumer buyers have the right to repair or replacement and then to price reduction or rescission.
