a) A luxury car dealership sold an imported car to an Australian construction company for $490,000. The car was to be used to drive senior staff and potential clients between head office and project sites. Although the car is roadworthy and safe it had a noxious odor in the rear seat which on one occasion caused a potential client to become ill for several days. As a result, that commercial opportunity was lost to the construction company. Does the company have any rights or remedies under theAustralian Consumer Lawagainst the car dealership? Discuss
