THE RETAILER'S RESPONSIBILITIES: The Supply of Goods (Implied Terms) Act
Abstract
The Supply of Goods (Implied Terms) Act 1973 has now been in force since last May. It is one of the most important — as well as one of the most misunderstood — statutes in the field of distribution. Who is now responsible to the customer for a built‐in fault — the retailer or the manufacturer? What effect do ‘guarantees’ and ‘warranties’ now have? To what extent can the retailer pass responsibility back to the manufacturer? This is a summary of the Act considered from a retailer's point of view.
