Part A (15 marks) Susan wanted to buy a new television for her lounge room. On her way back from work, she stopped at Appliances World, a retail shop, owned and operated by her friend, Tom. She told him that she wanted a reliable large screen television which she could mount on the wall. Tom recommended an Abode 70 inch flat panel plasma television. The retail selling price for the television was $6,000 but Tom offered to sell it to her for $5,500. Susan agreed to buy the television and Tom issued her with the following invoice: Appliances World 7 july 20 4 99, Easy Street, Perth 6000 Tax Invoice 1927901 One Abode 5OPN6199 70 inch full HD plasma television $5,500 One year's manufacturer's guarantee NB: Please see reverse for our terms and nditions of sale The back of the invoice contained a number of 'terms and conditions of sale' including the following: 'The seller will not be liable for any injury, loss or damage, arising out of the supply, installation or operation of the goods.' Susan took a quick glance at the terms and conditions, paid for the television and took delivery of it. Slightly more than a year later, a fire broke out in Susan's lounge room in the early hours of the morning. The fire was caused by the plasma television overheating. Susan had forgotten to switch off the television when she went to bed. Fortunately, Susan was able to put out the fire quickly. But still, the fire caused extensive damage to part of the lounge room, the curtains and the furniture. Susan is very upset and wants to claim damages from Appliances World amounting to $5,500 for the television, $1,000 for the curtains, and $10,000 to replace the furniture and repair the damaged part of the lounge room. Advise Susan of her rights (if any) against Appliances World under the judge made law of contract, the Sale of Good Act, 1895 (WA) and Division 1, Part 3-2 ('Consumer Guarantees') of the Australian Consumer Law
