What is the applicable and relevant implied warranty in a private used vehicle sale?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from SW v. Smith, 2022 BCCRT 252 (CanLII):
28. I find that the only applicable and relevant implied SGA warranty in a private used vehicle sale is in section 18(c). That section implies a warranty that goods will be durable for a reasonable period with normal use, considering the sale’s context and surrounding circumstances (see Drover v. West Country Auto Sales Inc., 2004 BCPC 454).
