Abstract
The European Consumer Sales Directive will not greatly alter existing Scots law as it relates to implied terms concerning the nature and quality of goods. It will, however, introduce into Scots law a new remedy entitling the consumer to repair or replacement of defective goods. In some respects existing Scots law gives greater protection to consumers, for instance in the availability of the right to terminate the contract for breach as a primary remedy, and it is to be hoped that such protection remains entrenched even although the Directive envisages termination for breach as a secondary remedy.
