OFT and todays Sunday Mirror Motoring. - stevek
Quentin Wilson talks today about the recent Office of Fair Trading ruling on waranties by manufacturers. In the article he mentions law and legislation by the OFT. I suspect this is wrong and would like other views from the BR.
The OFT cannot produce laws only codes and guidelines. The law is for Parliament etc. I just wonder what actual legal status anything the OFT says has? Could a manufacturer use this to wriggle out of a warranty claim with such a defence?
In the same paper of 29th February 2004 they speak about banks delay in clearing cheques. They say " The OFT can't enforce its proposals, they have to rely on the industry's code of conduct"
Appreciate your thoughts.
