In the preceding circular, we devoted our attention to general information regarding the new legal regulation of the warranty for quality. We mentioned that the warranty for quality must necessarily be distinguished from the "ordinary" statutory liability of the seller for defects in goods, under which the seller is, inter alia, liable to the consumer for a defect which "manifests itself on the item within two years of taking delivery". A warranty therefore comprises only those cases where additional rights are granted to the buyer beyond the scope of his statutory rights arising from liability for defects (a warranty for quality cannot be provided in respect of those rights which the buyer already has directly under the law). In this legal circular, we shall address certain other aspects of this institute.
