    So it's not the Limitation(s) Act and it's not six years in Scotland and it's not UK applicable? Does that cover it?

    Are you really in the legal profession?

    You really think I'm the only scottish person to do business under english law as the rule rather than the exception?

    As for my profession...whoever said I was in the legal profession? I've never hinted that I am, quite the opposite. Regardless what we are in the real world, we're not allowed to advise in a professional capacity. I tend to steer clear of boards involving my profession, try not to take my work home with me ;)

    unholyangel just hold your hands up and admit you messed up this time. You've given a lot of good advice over the years and you are better than this.

    The EU directive you refer to does not mean a warranty in the way we have come to use the word. It refers only to the period in which you can take action against a seller for breach of contract. It does not mean all goods should last that long or that if an item fails within that time, you're entitled to a repair/replacement/refund.

    In the UK, the Limitations Act gives 6 years - far far far better than the 2 years given by the EU directive.

    Implementing that part of the directive would have left us in a worse off position than we are now.



    This is what I see now...which has not been edited?

    Sorry, meant this post:
    But I appreciate the sentiment. Just on that 10% chance, its 6 years from purchase in england and wales (and N. Ireland as well I believe), 5 years from discovery (of the problem) in scotland.

    Why not just correct the post that is wrong? It's not UK legislation, It's not the Limitation(s) Act, It's not six years. It doesn't apply in the UK Country you live in.
