Blackstone's Guide to Consumer Sales and Associated Guarantees

Blackstone's Guide to Consumer Sales and Associated Guarantees provides a practical guide to the important new Guarantees Directive and its implementation. The Directive affects (a) consumers' rights and remedies against the seller where they purchase defective goods, and (b) the enforcement of manufacturers' guarantees. The book deals with the relationship and interaction of these new rights with the existing sale of goods law. Written by leading experts in the field, the Guide is both clear and comprehensive in its coverage. It also contains the full text of relevant legislation including the Sale of Goods Act as amended and the EC Directive on Sale of Consumer Goods and Associated Guarantees.
