   ...fulfils the definition of a consumer as it is provided for in the Consumer Guarantees Act 1983. I make my finding when I consider that the “interpretation” clause in the CGA, defines a consumer as a person who acquires from a supplier goods or services of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic, or household use or consumption. 32.
