A legal question, albeit not a motoring related one...

If I have a problem with something I've bought, then under the Sale of Goods act, it is the retailer rather than the manufacturer who is responsible for putting the problem right.

If I have a very valued, friendly (but small independent) retailer who is being faced with a large manufacturer who is basically saying "tough st, we're not interested", is there anything within the Sale of Goods act or elsewhere which gives the retailer assistance in ensuring that the manufacturer helps out if I were to win a claim under the Sale of Goods act?
