LST2BSL Introduction To Business Law And Ethics - Common Law Assignment

Question 2:

After only 3 days of using her new MowMaster 6000, Joanna notices that it is not cutting as well. When she inspects the blades, she finds that they are already worn down and blunted. When she calls Lawnmower City to complain, she is told, “We’re not responsible for any problems like that. Didn’t you see the sign at the counter?”
At the sales counter where Joanna had paid for her MowMaster 6000, there was a small sign: Lawnmower City is not liable for any breach of warranty or condition in any sale of its products. When Joanna was at the counter, the sign had been partially hidden by a group of pot plants being held aside for another customer to collect.

2. Does the sign apply to Joanna’s sale contract with Lawnmower City? (5 marks)
