Hire-Purchase Act 1969 s 6D

s 6D Modification of remedies for breach of statutory condition in non-consumer cases

6D.—(1) Where in the case of a hire‑purchase agreement —(a) the hirer would, apart from this subsection, have the right to reject the goods by reason of a breach on the part of the owner of a term implied by section 6A, 6B or 6C(1)(a) or (c); but (b) the breach is so slight that it would be unreasonable for him to reject them, then, if the hirer does not deal as consumer, the breach is not to be treated as a breach of condition but may be treated as a breach of warranty. (2) This section applies unless a contrary intention appears in, or is to be implied from, the agreement. (3) It is for the owner to show —(a) that a breach fell within subsection (1)(b); and (b) that the hirer did not deal as consumer.
