Difference between revisions of "Governing Legislation and Resources for Consumer Protection (11:II)"

''[http://www.bclaws.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/96410_01 Sale of Goods Act]'', RSBC 1996, c 410 [''SGA''].

*The ''SGA'' regulates contracts for the sale (or lease) of goods, but not services. The ''SGA'' is not concerned with the ethics of the transaction unless there is also a defect in the manner in which the contract is carried out (e.g. if the goods are not delivered, are damaged, or are unfit for the purpose for which they were sold). The protections are stronger for new goods and goods sold by sellers in the business of selling that good (e.g. retail stores) than for goods that the purchaser knows are used or sellers who are not in the business of selling that good.
