Explain" rel="nofollow">in why busin" rel="nofollow">iness owners need to be aware of these distin" rel="nofollow">inctions Part 2 Question 2 Answer the followin" rel="nofollow">ing case study Robert, who is a sales executive, wishes to purchase a new briefcase to fit his corporate image. So on a trip to Chester he went to a bespoke leather accessory shop and was shown a number of briefcases by the sales assistant. After much thought Robert fin" rel="nofollow">inally chose a particular case which was priced at £500, but when he offered to pay for it he was told that this case was from the win" rel="nofollow">indow display and that the sales assistant would get an identical case from the stockroom. This case was already boxed and Robert paid for it without in" rel="nofollow">inspection. Upon arrival at his flat Robert opened the box and in" rel="nofollow">inspected his new case. He was disappoin" rel="nofollow">inted to notice that the quality was in" rel="nofollow">inferior to the case he had in" rel="nofollow">inspected in" rel="nofollow">in the shop. The leather was slightly scuffed and dull, the locks were not made of brass and the stitchin" rel="nofollow">ing was loose at the base. One week later he took the case back to the shop and asked for a full refund. The sales assistant poin" rel="nofollow">inted to a notice at the counter which stated ‘All purchases can be refunded within" rel="nofollow">in 5 days’ and refused to offer Robert a refund. Robert has another problem - some months ago he decided to renovate his kitchen he needed a new front door fitted and a new kitchen to be in" rel="nofollow">installed. He contacted 3 companies to provide estimates for the job. The most reasonable was for £8,000 submitted by Rightfit Ltd, who were then asked to do the work. Robert signed a contract with the company, but it did not mention the cost of the work, nor how long it would take to complete. The workmen from Rightfit started the work in" rel="nofollow">in June, but it proceeded very slowly and was fin" rel="nofollow">inally completed in" rel="nofollow">in November. Whilst Robert was happy about the quality of the kitchen itself, he was very unhappy about its in" rel="nofollow">installation - the cupboards fitted badly, work surfaces were uneven and the new front door leaked rain" rel="nofollow">inwater. He has also received a bill from Rightfit Ltd for £15,000.   Advise Robert as to his rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
