...Stacey. Rules &Application The situation requires the application of SGA implied conditions and the Consumer Guarantees under the ACL. Under SGA: To form a contract, there are three elements need to be satisfied: goods, money consideration and transfer of property (s6 SGA). In this case, it is obvious that a sale of goods contract has been formed because it meet all the requirements of s6 SGA. Firstly, the coffee machine is a physical item of property and constitutes goods. Then, Stacey paid money for acquiring it, and it constitutes money consideration. At last, Stacey has acquired the ownership of the coffee machine. Under ACL: To be a consumer, a person needs to satisfy either of two elements. One is the price of the goods or services does not exceed $40,000; or the goods or services are of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic, or household use.(Section 4B of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010) In this case, Stacey is expected to pay $100 per month over three years and the total price is $3,600 which is less than $40,000. Therefore, Stacey should be regarded as a consumer. Here, several SGA implied conditions and Consumer Guarantees under the ACL have been breached. First, the coffee machine is not of merchantable quality under s19(3) of the SGA (David Jones v Willis ) and not of acceptable quality under s54 ACL. Providing that the coffee machine breaks down frequently and will not produce coffee in sufficiently hot temperature after using one...

...QUESTION THREE Alistair wants to build a new restaurant in Sherbrook Forest in the Dandenong Hills in Victoria. He finds a piece of land which is perfect for his purposes and which he wishes to buy so that he can build the restaurant on it. He telephones the local council and asks to be put through to the Planning Department. David answers the call and Alistair tells him of his plans and asks if the Council has any plans regarding the land he wants to purchase. David says that as far as he is aware there are no proposals by the Council regarding the land but suggests to Alistair that he seek legal representation. Alistair says that he has been in the restaurant business for many years and has dealt with councils during that time and ‘everything has always turned out fine’. David says ‘I’ll check again to make sure’ and asks Alistair to wait on the line. David comes back and confirms that there are no proposals and the parties terminate the conversation. Alistair buys the land, hires an architect, Peter, to do plans of the proposed building and the plans are completed. When he submits them for approval, he learns from the Council Planning Department that the Council will not permit the building of a two-level restaurant and that the building must be single level only. The alterations to the plans, the structure of the building and the way it is now going to have to be built, will cost Alistair $250,000. He also learns that on the day of his initial enquiry, he was mistakenly...
