Section 25: Delivery of wrong quantity
143.This section corresponds to section 30 of the SGA, but is not limited to sales contracts and as with all of this Part it only relates to trader to consumer contracts.
144.This section provides that the consumer may reject the goods if the wrong quantity is delivered, but if they choose to accept the goods then they must pay the contract rate for what they receive. If more is delivered than was contracted for, the consumer has the additional option to reject the excess and keep the contracted amount.
145.This section only entitles the consumer to reject goods: rules of contract law will determine whether or not the contract can be treated as at an end. This reflects the existing position under the SGA.
