Problem
Fair Dinkum Pty Ltd sells furniture on a website set up in Australia. They have offices in the United States and Australia. They advertise a table for $2000 that is made of "Quality Tasmanian Oak" jack buys the table as he already has a Tasmanian oak shelf and wishes to match the furniture. Two months later a friend, who knows lot about wood, points out that much of the wood on the table is a combination of woods, most likely from the United States but certainly not Tasmanian Oak.
1. Does Jack have a claim against Fair Dinkum Pty Ltd under the ACL?
2. What provisions of the Australian Consumer Law could Jack rely on?
3. If Jack was living in the United States but placed the order online in Australia while visiting, would the 2011 amend, to the electronic transactions Act allow Jack to rely on the Australian Consumer Law? Explain your reasons.
