General Scheme of the Consumer Rights Bill 2021: Discussion
Ms Emma Hanrahan:
Before, privity of contract would have excluded someone from having a contractual relationship with the trader if they had received something as a gift. This will be a statutory exception to that. If the recipient is a consumer they will have the same rights and effectively be able to step into the shoes of the purchaser of the item.
