Abstract
This chapter presents the remedies for buyers if a seller breaches their obligations under the contract. Some breaches allow the buyer to reject the goods and terminate the contract. The buyer's basic remedies under the Act are the right to reject the goods, terminate the contract, and claim damages. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 (CRA 2015) provides a distinctive legal regime for consumer sale, which includes four remedies to the consumer where goods are not in conformity with the contract. The chapter then enumerates the rights under CRA 2015: the right to reject goods, the right to cure encompassing the repair or replacement of the goods, reduction of the price payable, and a final right to reject.
