What is a defective goods dispute?
A defective goods dispute arises when products supplied under a contract fail to meet agreed quality, safety, or performance standards. These disputes often involve issues under the Sale of Goods Act 1979, the Consumer Rights Act 2015, or specific contractual warranties.
Problems may include goods that are faulty, unsafe, non-compliant with regulations, or unsuitable for the intended purpose.
