I move amendment No. 178:
In page 39, subsection (2), lines 36 to 38, to delete paragraph (b).
In circumstances where a hirer examines goods for defects before an agreement is made, if he fails to spot them he has no rights. The implied undertakings as to quality or fitness go if he fails to spot a defect. I am wondering whether it is reasonable to expect a consumer's judgment to be good enough to simply pick up an item and to say that since the consumer saw it in the shop before he or she took it, the vendor's undertaking as to its quality is gone. Is that rather draconian?
