I agree that up until the point payment has been accepted, the price tag on the goods is simply an "invitation to treat" and is not binding on either buyer or seller.
However, once payment was given and accepted, a contract has been formed, and unless agreed by both sides, the seller is bound to supply the goods.
I'm with Shaun on this one. All the elements of the contract are there, except that TAU have now decided to breach it for the sake of £6.
However, just to avoid any potential confusion (see what I did there
) I think brettcta is pointing out that there is no legal obligation on the retailer to order in another copy to remedy the breach. If they don't have a copy then refund is the best remedy for all concerned.
Not that I believe they had no copies

i wouldnt bother complaining as they dont really seem to have a compaints dept, that is, no one ever gets anything resolved by them, i sent a letter in 2009 and im still waiting on my response.
look at their facebook page, full of complaints about not respomding to compaints!let he without sin cast the first stone0 -
just to avoid any potential confusion (and because i've seen it before), the store doesn't have any legal obligation to do this.
Completely wrong.
When the item is on sale on the shelves, and up until the point that the item is presented at the till, this is called "offer to treat" and is not a legally binding contract on either side.
As soon as the item has been rung through the till and paid for by the customer, the contract has been formed and must be seen through to completion by both parties.
I understand you are trying to be helpful, but posting completely wrong information is not how to go about that.0 -
