Hi there, thanks for your upload. A quick question on the binding nature of warranties on the vendor. I recently heard a lady trying to use a warranty guarantee for an item she purchased from Aldi. The Aldi salesperson informed her she would have to apply directly to the maker of the product to have the warranty honoured. I think a certain amount of time had passed - several months perhaps. Is this correct or does consumer law mean Aldi must honour the warranty themselves? Thanks

[@AnthsLawSchool]

Hi Michael, the ACL is pretty clear about this. Have a look at s.261. It is the supplier's problem, not the manufacturer or wholesaler. So in this case it is Aldi's problem. Many retailers try this dodge - essentially trying to make it hard enough that the consumer just gives up.

All legislation should be national.

[@AnthsLawSchool]

I'm not so sure. I do think there is a place for more localised legislation. However I'd be in favour of a far more substantial examination of which areas of law should operate federally, and which at the state or local level.

[@calmmeoriginalofficialchan9110]

@@AnthsLawSchool I find that Australian State authorities customarily, completely ignore federal law in favour of state law.

[@AnthsLawSchool]

@@calmmeoriginalofficialchan9110 Well, that's always possible, but I'd need some actual evidence. If state authorities are ignoring federal law in circumstances where federal law applies, then the way would be open to challenge the state decision under the Administrative Decisions (Judicial Review) Act 1977 (Cth).
