Humera recently acquired the following items and now seeks your advice about any remedies she might have, and any legal issues that might arise, as a result of the following problems:(a) A plasma television set bought from a High Street store for which she paid 35000. The TV never worked but because of the pressures of work she only managed to return it to the store 12 months later. (b) A new play Station which she exchanged for an old one. She bought this at the same time and from the same store as the television. This never worked. (c) A second-hand wristwatch which she bought from a car boot sale and paid 3000 by cheque. It was described as waterproof and the leaflet advertising it claimed it kept excellent time. When she got it home, she found that it was not waterproof and also that it lost more than 1 minute in time every week. (d) A skirt for a dinner party she was planning. In a rush, she picked up the wrong size from the shelf. (e) Some roofing tiles from a local builder merchant. The tiles were mostly cracked and unusable. Humera was in a hurry when she bought them and only had a quick look at them. She hadn’t noticed they were cracked.
