(d) the goods are not reasonably fit for that purpose, whether or
not that is a purpose for which such goods are commonly
supplied;
(e) the consumer or a person who acquires the goods from, or
derives title to the goods through or under, the consumer

reasonably fit for that purpose;

act 58 unfair practices devision 1 section 59
trade practices act 1974 221
clause (a) (i) and (ii)
58 Accepting payment without intending or being able to supply as
ordered
A corporation shall not, in trade or commerce, accept payment or
other consideration for goods or services where, at the time of the
acceptance:
(a) the corporation intends:
(i) not to supply the goods or services; or
(ii) to supply goods or services materially different from the
goods or services in respect of which the payment or
other consideration is accepted; or
(b) there are reasonable grounds, of which the corporation is
aware or ought reasonably to be aware, for believing that the
corporation will not be able to supply the goods or services
within the period specified by the corporation or, if no period
is specified, within a reasonable time.
1) In every contract for the supply by a corporation in the course of a
business of services to a consumer there is an implied warranty that
the services will be rendered with due care and skill and that any
materials supplied in connexion with those services will be
reasonably fit for the purpose for which they are supplied.
