Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982

Rezumat

The Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 implies terms into contracts for the supply of goods (other than by sale or hire-purchase) and contracts for the supply of services. Part I implies terms about title, description, quality, fitness for purpose, and sample into contracts for the transfer of goods and hire contracts. Part II implies terms into contracts for the supply of services: that the supplier will carry out the service with reasonable care and skill, within a reasonable time, and for a reasonable charge. For consumer contracts, it has been largely superseded by the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
