Gezza had a particular interest in growing Bonsai plants in his spare time (when he was not tending to his cotton crops). Gezza attended at the Savage Gardens nursery and stocked up on extremely rare bonsai graftings from ancient Japan to satisfy his penchant for his desire to have the most amazing Bonsai plants in the Southern Hemisphere. Savage Gardens had promoted themselves as experts in the bonsai world.

 

In May 2021 he purchased three particularly rare plants that were highly sought after in the bonsai growing fraternity. He was chuffed indeed and knew at the next bonsai get together soiree he could show off his new acquisition with pride and no doubt raise a hint of jealousy from some of his colleagues.

However after only two days the plants started to wilt and looked like they might die. Gezza was particularly concerned and took them to an arborist (for mini trees!). The arborist took a look at them and declared that they would be dead within a week as they had painted on foliage and had been planted in soil that was too high in salt and calcium for a Bonsai.

Gezza took the plants back to Savage Gardens nursery and demanded his money back. What claim/s might Gezza have under the Sales of Goods Act against Savage Gardens. Limit yourself to the statutory sections studied in this course. Any reference to sections not considered in this course will not attract any marks.
