The Sale of Goods Act 1979 (c 54) is an Act of Parliament which regulates English contract law and UK commercial law in respect of goods that are sold and bought. The Act consolidates the original Sale of Goods Act 1893 and subsequent legislation, which in turn had codified and consolidated the law. Since 1979, there have been a number of minor statutory changes and additions to the 1979 Act.

The Act applies to contracts where property in 'goods' is transferred or agreed to be transferred for a monetary consideration,[2] in other words: where property* in personal chattels is sold. (* Note that in this context, the word "property" means "ownership").

Fitness for purpose, s14(3)

If the buyer expressly or impliedly makes his purpose for the goods known to the seller, the seller is obliged to make sure the goods provided are fit for that purpose, if it is reasonable for the buyer to rely on the seller's expertise.

Unfortunately the situation for claiming compensation for faulty PIP implants is not 100% clear. Unlike the majority of our European neighbours the UK government are not too willing to admit that these faulty PIP implants should be removed and the costs of the procedure covered by the National Health Service.


The MRHA which is the UK’s medicines and healthcare products agency approved the use of the know known to be defective PIP implants that have been widely used by many private cosmetic clinics.


Rupture rate statistics in France are about 5%, but one clinic in England has reported failure rates at a higher 7% and there are fears that these figures could actually be higher. These statistics make it even more important for the British government to act and establish accountability both legally and ethically.
