Consumer Rights Act 2015

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 is the main piece of legislation protecting consumers in the UK when buying goods, digital content, and services. It provides that goods must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, and as described; services must be performed with reasonable care and skill. Consumers have a short-term right to reject faulty goods within 30 days, and further rights to repair, replacement, or price reduction after that.
