Consumer protection law rests on the foundations of contract law and the law of sale of goods. A consumer law has to conceptually express this foundation and the modifications it is bringing about in these laws. Without this, the law would become unclear, conflicting and confusing. In this respect, the Consumer Protection Bill, 2015 is not secured in its foundation and needs revision. The paper reviews the rights of the consumer (buyer) to receive damages for breach by the seller. The bill recognises only repair and replacement as damages for the consumer. For claiming other damages, the consumer must establish negligence by the seller. The principle of contract law, to the contrary, is that for every breach, irrespective of the intention or diligence, the seller has to pay damages to the buyer. The bill has mixed up contractual damages with damages under the law of torts. In sale contracts, consequential damages arising from defective goods are readily recognised. The bill should recognise this. The paper, reviewing the law, develops draft provisions on the theme. The draft provisions are in the annexure to the paper.
