Consumer Protection under Australian Consumer Law: A Case study
According to Australian consumer law, a person could be considered a consumer if he purchases goods or services costing less than $40,000 or alternatively, the cost of goods or services is greater than $40,000, but these are used for domestic, household or personal use or consumption
As Adil has bought a black Mitsubishi Pajero priced at $44,990 for his own personal use, therefore, he is a consumer and Australian consumer laws are applicable to his purchase. Since Adil has purchased a defective car from Trang who owns a car dealership and Adil is a consumer as per Australian consumer law, therefore, he can turn to Australian Consumer Law for helping him resolve the issue. Australian Consumer Law covers all new and used cars that are purchased through car dealerships. Australian Consumer Law provides the following guarantees for New and used cars purchased from a car dealer.
Fit for purpose
Cars purchased from car dealerships should be ‘fit for purpose’. Australian Consumer Law doesn’t expect Adil to find hidden problems within the car, since they cannot be easily detected and therefore, car dealer cannot refuse to help Adil with his effective car for hidden problems.
Acceptable quality
Car that Adil purchased should be of an ‘acceptable quality’. The complete car is covered and the car dealer has no right to argue that that only a portion of the car is covered, while other portions are not covered
Defect Free
The car that Adil purchased should be “defect free”. The car dealer must provide a guarantee that the car has no faults when Adil purchased it from him. The dealer is refrained from stating that consumer guarantees similar to defect free guarantees are applicable only to buyers getting their cars serviced through them. The consumer guarantees will apply even if Adil gets his car serviced from somewhere else....
