PART 1Consumer contracts for goods, digital content and services
CHAPTER 4Services
What statutory rights are there under a services contract?
52Service to be performed within a reasonable time
1
This section applies to a contract to supply a service, if—
a
the contract does not expressly fix the time for the service to be performed, and does not say how it is to be fixed, and
b
information that is to be treated under section 50 as included in the contract does not fix the time either.
2
In that case the contract is to be treated as including a term that the trader must perform the service within a reasonable time.
3
What is a reasonable time is a question of fact.
4
See section 54 for a consumer’s rights if the trader is in breach of a term that this section requires to be treated as included in a contract.
