Commentary on Sections

Part 1: Consumer Contracts for Goods, Digital Content and Services

Chapter 2: Goods
What statutory rights are there under a goods contract?
Section 15: Installation as part of conformity of the goods with the contract

78.Section 15 makes clear that special rules apply where goods are both supplied and installed by a trader (or the installation is done under that same trader’s responsibility). In that case, if the installation service is done incorrectly then the goods remedies apply, with the exception of the short-term right to reject.
