Issues
One of the issues was whether Jason has committed breach of any other provision of
the consumer law.
Rules
According to provisions of the Consumer law the supplier is under a legal obligation to
ensure that there shall be no clause in a purchase agreement which is inserted for the purpose
of excluding, or limiting or restricting the right of the consumer to take protection under the
Australian consumer law (Competition and Consumer Act, 2010- Schedule 2 (Cth)s 64).
Also the concept of consumer guarantees in Australia give an obligation to the seller and
rights to the consumer whereby the goods should be of standard quality and comply by the
model as stated during the making of the contract. The goods shall also be appropriate for the
purpose for which they are sought.
Application
In the instant case Jason, the defendant and the supplier, intentionally inserted a waiver
clause in the purchase agreement in order to waive the right of Chong, the consumer, to seek
protection under the consumer law.
Further the defendant also failed to abide by the concept of consumer guarantee as the
truck that was sold by him to the plaintiff were not according to the standard model as stated by
the seller and they were also not appropriate for the purpose of his business.
