38.Subsection (8) sets out another key definition: the meaning of “goods”. This derives from Article 2(3) of the CRD. Essentially “goods” means anything physical which you can move (“any tangible moveable item”). Therefore, Chapter 2 of Part 1 of the Act (the goods Chapter) does not apply to purchases of immovable property such as land or a house. However, this subsection makes clear the meaning of goods can include certain utilities (water, gas and electricity) where they are put up for sale in a limited volume or set quantity. Examples of these are a gas cylinder, a bottle of water or a battery. Section 3 contains further provision on the scope of the contracts for goods covered by the Act.
