I have been succcessful in doing things today, if your definition of successful includes doing a lot of laundry (and hanging it outside to dry in the sun and the wind) and making a start on homework. I have been doing a section of questions on the Fair Trading Act 1986, which I am starting to get tired of. Two questions left to answer:
6. Jennifer Eccles owns a jeans shop. She notices a drop in her sales figures. On investigation, she finds that this has coincided with the opening of a shop down the road by Gene Bank called “Gene’s Jeans”. In the shop window there is a prominent sign: “We sell jeans at factory prices.” Jennifer knows this is untrue. Can she do anything about it under the Fair Trading Act? Quote references to relevant sections in your answer.
7. Sally Forth sees an advertisement by Fast and Cheap Travel Limited which states: “Cheapest air fares to Sydney for the Games - $349 return.” Sally rushes into Fast and Cheap Travel Limited but is told that flights left from Auckland and she would have had to pay her own way to and from Auckland. In any event, all tickets at that price had been sold two weeks before. Sally is very angry because the advertisement had appeared in the previous night’s newspaper. Advise Sally whether any breach of the Fair Trading Act has occurred and what, if any, remedies she may have. Quote references to relevant sections in your answer.
I think I'll go make banana-chocolate chip muffins instead.
