Section 14 of The Consumer Protection Act No 68 of 2008 (CPA):
In our last blog, we looked at the wording of the whole of section 14 (3) and commented extensively on its content and the background to the section.
Today we will concentrate on section 14 (4) of the CPA and also comment on section 14 as a whole as it relates to a fixed term contract and particularly the cancellation of lease agreements.
In our last blog, we looked at the wording of the whole of section 14 (2) and commented on its content and the background to the section.
Today we will concentrate on the whole of section 14 (3) of the CPA and also regulation 5.
In our last blog, we looked at the wording of the whole of section 14 (1) and commented on its content and the background to the section.
Today we will concentrate on section 14 (2) of the CPA and also regulation 5.
In our last blog we looked at the wording of the whole of section 14 of the CPA and also at the full wording of regulation 5.
Today we will concentrate on section 14 (1) of the CPA.
During the course of this month, we intend concentration on this aspect of consumer and commercial law.
In the above context and as per our opening statement above; there are two important aspects of the CPA which need to be applied.
We have been looking at section 56 of the CPA and in our last blog dealt with section 56(3) and repairs and your rights after a repair.
We now turn our attention to section 56 (4) which deals with your residual common law rights.
Section 56 (3) of the Consumer Protection Act, No 68 of 2008 reads as follows:
“If a supplier repairs any particular goods or any component of any such goods, and within three months after the repair, the failure, defect or unsafe feature has not been remedied, or a further failure, defect or unsafe feature is discovered, the supplier must: - (a) replace the goods; or (b) refund to the consumer the price paid by the consumer for the goods.”
The Consumer Protection Act No 68 of 2008 (CPA):
Section 56(2):
In our last blog, we had a look at section 56 (1) of the CPA especially as it relates to the purchase of defective or damaged motor vehicles which have been bought by a consumer from a service provider.
Today; we turn our attention to section 56 (2) of the CPA and we will be looking at this important section.
This is a long blog which I was initially going to do over three blogs, but have decided to complete it in one long blog so as to keep continuity. I hope you do not mind.
The reason for this is that this subsection is probably the most important when it comes to your choices in the event of you having bought a defective motor vehicle or any other product for that matter.
