Discussion

Question 1

The first question raised relates to Paul Price who is clearly concerned about the Tefal Actifry. In order to explain to Paul Price about his rights regarding the issues he is having with the product he has purchased, the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (amended) will be used and referred.
