Section 16 of SOGA : Section 16: Implied Conditions As To Quality Or Fitness

Explanation using Example

Imagine Sarah needs a laptop for graphic design work and she goes to a computer store. She explains to the salesperson that she requires a laptop suitable for running heavy graphic design software. The salesperson recommends a specific model, and Sarah purchases it based on the salesperson's expertise. Later, Sarah discovers that the laptop is not powerful enough to run her design programs effectively. Under Section 16 of the Sale of Goods Act, 1930, Sarah may have a legal remedy because she made her purpose known to the seller and relied on the seller's skill and judgment to provide a laptop fit for graphic design work. This section implies a condition that the laptop should be reasonably fit for the purpose Sarah specified.
