Exactly. If you want to read the act it's here http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1979/54

We never used to provide them unless we had some scrapper PX in with some tax on it.

So which section of the Act covers consequential losses (presumably without actually mentioning them?).

But it wasnt the act itself. That was the point.

You put a smart "look again" and then didnt link to the act.

I'd say s53 & 54 cover it, consequential costs would be recovered as special damages as per s54

The traditional contract law remedy for breech of contract is for the buyer to be put in the position he would have been in had the breech not occurred so any reasonable consequential costs should be paid in addition to repair or refund
