ABSTRACT

Section 14(3) implies a condition that goods are fit for any particular purpose for which the goods are being bought, providing the buyer, expressly or by implication, makes known to the seller the particular purpose and it is not unreasonable in the circumstances for the buyer to rely on the skill and judgment of the seller. (Section 14(3) also protects the buyer where he is paying by instalments and the seller bought the goods from a credit broker to whom the buyer made his purpose known.)

Note that, as with s 14(2), s 14(3) applies only if the seller is selling in the course of a business.
