   ...holiday house is a service ordinarily supplied to consumers, so the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (CGA) applies. CGA s 29 provides that services must be reasonably fit for any purpose the consumer makes known to the supplier before the contract is formed, unless the circumstances show that the consumer does not rely on the supplier's skill or judgment, or it would be unreasonable for the consumer to do so.

   ...ongoing basis (for which T Ltd paid a monthly fee of $1,950.00) in support of her claim that the contract includes the provision of ongoing SEO work. In particular, she refers to the statement “2x weekly management, which will improve your performance and ranking in Google”. DD explained that this refers to the management of the Google ads created for T Ltd, not to any SEO work. I accept his evidence in this regard. 8. I therefore find that T Ltd has not established that the ser...

The contract price was $37,030.00 incl.GST and QW paid $21,700.00 leaving a balance of $15,330.00 unpaid, that latter figure being the amount of the claim.

However, CU Ltd thought they might have passed on the invoice to the applicants to pay the garage directly. 6. The applicants bear the onus of proving on the balance of p...

   ...dated 27 and 29 June 2024 affirmed the contract. 10. EO disputes that he had engaged T Ltd. He says that his initial communication was exploratory in nature and that T Ltd were never properly authorised to act on his behalf. 11.

   ...co-workers or even friends. It is also necessary to determine whether or not there was any intention on the part of the parties at the time to enter into a legal relationship (for example, by drawing up a clear and specific loan agreement, however informal, and signing it). 9. I find, on the evidence available in this case, that there was no intention to enter into a legal relationship and any agreement is therefore unenforceable. Not only is any agreement unenforceable, but I find t...
