Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982

The Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 is a UK law that ensures goods and services provided to consumers and businesses meet certain standards. It requires that goods be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, and as described. When services are provided, they must be performed with reasonable skill and care. This act aims to protect consumers by holding suppliers accountable if these standards are not met, allowing consumers to seek remedies like repairs, replacements, or refunds. It establishes clear rights and responsibilities to promote fairness in transactions.
