Using more words than are necessary. It is similar to tautology and there is some overlap. At this moment in time.

I was hoping for an argument about which it was.

Sorry, I was being sarcastic both times. Another true fact.

Well:

a/ you can't have an argument unless you have paid and...
b/ are you looking for an argument or just contradiction?

Glad all you legal boys are having fun. The bit that causes me concern is "If the goods do not last a reasonable length of time you may be entitled to some money back"
Who decides what is reasonable, say the aircon failed in a 4 year old car that had done 40,000 miles?

In the end it's a court if you and the retailer disagree, same as before. That said, there is a push towards Alternative Dispute Resolution - although the business is not obliged to use it in most situations. We'll have to see how it develops to change practices over time.

I am not a lawyer though, I got my law information from Al Murray down my local pub.

The BBC site here condenses the changes, and there's a link to the CAB and their advice on the changes, with Q&As.

Not my area of law blah blah, but isn't that the part that they have changed?

Oh no! Where will we be without your snide mocking of persecuted motorists and your pseudointellectualism?

[anonymous-user]

Hey, I'd offer some advice on that, but doing so would break the not posting in here rule, sozzer.

We need more sesquipedalianism. Innit.

As a starter, BIS have produced some very good guidance on the rights for goods, services and digital content - I expect will answer most queries that are not very complex.
