Ford Ka Price mistake

Surely the mistake was identified yesterday.

Shouldn't they be forced to correct the mistake within a certain time frame otherwise the incorrect price should be honoured?

I will correct you on that.

a retailer doesn't have to honour the advertised price if it is a msitake they can refuse to saell the item to you at that price/

I know this is correct as i have just come back from a 2 day training course on sales of goods act and consumer rights with the company i work for

Although if payment is taken then a contract is formed and technically the company is obliged to give you the agreed item.

interested to know if something is sold and the sales assistant knows it the wrong price has a contract been formed ? under the sales of goods act ?and can the sales assistant be held accountable if she has benefited from the mispriced item?

But as we know, (Samsung TV's, Dell Projectors etc etc) this doesn't happen anymore

All it really needs is someone to take it to court to test it out - thing is most people won't and either way an obvious mistake is an obvious mistake and I don't see judges ordering companies to give TV's for £40 or cars for £300 simply because they made the mistake of automatically taking money :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
