Consumer hire
The implied terms of ss 6–10 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 apply to
consumer hire agreements (see above, 9.3.1).
Hire purchase agreements
The implied terms of ss 8–11 of the Supply of Goods (Implied Terms) Act 1973 apply
to hire purchase agreements. The implied terms are similar to those relating to sale
of goods contracts, namely: title; description; satisfactory quality; fitness for
purpose; and correspondence with sample. The draft Sale and Supply of Goods to
Consumers Regulations 2002 will make amendments to these implied terms in the
same way as for the implied terms of a sale of goods or a hire contract
