Question

Brown operates a retail clothing business and has been concerned about security as several other shops near his have been recently attacked by thieves. He contacts Acme Security Systems and, on their recommendation, enters into a contract for them to supply and install a security system (monitored back to base) for the sum of AUD35,000. The contract contained nothing more than a description of the security system, the installation date, and the price.

Several weeks after the installation of the security system thieves broke into Brown's business premises and stole several thousand dollars' worth of goods. The security system failed to detect the theft.

What rights (if any) does Brown have against Acme Security Systems for breach of any of the consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law.

Discuss with reference to relevant cases, legal principles, and legislation.
