Case Study

Arti received a circular from Beauty and the Beast Hair Salon advertising massages and manicures for Rs 500. Realising that this was an exceptionally good deal, but not surprised because she knew that they had only just opened and were running a number of good opening specials, she rang and made a booking. When Arti arrived at the salon she was told that there had been a mistake on the circular and it should have said Rs2500. The manager of the salon explained that this was still a good price because normally a massage and manicure would have cost Rs.3500. Arti was furious, as it had taken her 30 minutes to get to the shop by car and if she had known it would cost Rs.2500, she would never have made the booking. Advise Arti. Would your advice have been any different if Arti had the massage and manicure before being told that the cost was Rs.2500. Would she have to pay the full price.

CASE STUDY

As per Section 148 of the Indian Contract Act – A bailment is the delivery of goods by one person to another for some8purpose, upon a contract that they shall, when the purpose is accomplished, be returned or otherwise disposed of according to the directions of the person delivering them. The person delivering the goods is called the “bailor”. The person to whom they are delivered is called the “bailee”. For example, you deliver some gold to a jeweller B to make bangles for your sister. In this case you are bailor and B is bailee and by delivering gold to B, a reletionship of bailment is created between you and the jeweller.
, Essentials of Valid Bailment
If you analyse the definition of bailment you will find that for creating a relationship of bailment the following features must be present:
Agreement ; Delivery of goods ; Purpose; Return of the specific goods. Pawn or Pledge is a special kind of baillnent where a movable thing is bailed as security for the repayment of a debt or for the performance of a promise. For example, if you borrow rupees one hundred from B and keep your cycle with him as security for repayment, it is a contract of pledge. The person taking the loan is called the pledger or pawnor and the person with whom goods are pledged is called the pawnee. Ownership of the pledged goods does not pass to the pledgee. The general property remains with the pledger but a “special property” in it passes to the pledgee. The special property is a right to the possession of the articles along with the power of sale on default. ‘Delivery of the goods pawned is a necessary element in the making of a pawn. The property pledged should be delivered to the pawnee. Thus, where the producer of a film borrowed a sum of money from a financier-distributor and agreed to deliver the final prints of the film when ready, the agreement was held not to amount to a pledge, there being no actual transfer of possession. Delivery of possession may be actual or constructive. Delivery of the key of the godown where the goods are stored is an example of constructive dclivery. Where the goods are in the possession of a third person, who, on thc directions of the ‘pledger, consents to hold them on the pledgee’s behalf, that is enough delivery. A railway receipt is a document of title of the goods and a pledge of the receipt operates as a pledge of the goods. the persons who can make a valid pledge are :The owner, or his authorized agent, or One of the several co-owners, who is in the sole possession of goods, with the consent of other owners, or ; A mercantile agent, who is in possession of the goods with the consent of real owner, or; A person in possession under a voidable contract, before the contract is rescinded, or; A seller, who is in possession of goods after sale or a buyer who has obtained possession of the goods before sale, or; A person who has a limited interest in the property. In such a case the pawn is alid only to the extent of such interest.

CASE STUDY

Consumer awareness about their legitimate rights has been constantly growing in recent years. Consumer protection movement is a part of global recognition and concern that consumers are a weak party in buying goods and services as compared to the manufacturers and traders producing and selling them.Ideally, a market economy where firms compete to sell goods and services to the consumers should serve the interests of consumers better but more often than not the consumers are exploited by the adoption of unfair and restrictive trade practices. Far from being a sovereign the consumer is a child who is too weak to resist or challenge the suppliers of goods and services.
Therefore, even in a free market economy he needs protection of his rights by a legal authority. Consumer protection is necessary even in a controlled economy where public enterprises play a dominant role since consumers are likely to be denied their rights in their case too. Most consumers buy goods and services after being lured by advertisements exaggerating the contents and quality of their products or services. Legal support to them is required if they are to be protected from the exploitation and deception by the suppliers so that erring vendors are brought to book.
It is this increasing realisation of the helplessness of the consumers and to ensure their legitimate rights that led to the resolution of the United Nations General Assembly in 1985 recommending to the member states for adopting preventive, protective and curative measures for the benefit of consumers. Thus this resolution required the member states to create agencies for adjudication of consumer claims and to create conducive environment for protection of consumers. In the UN General Assembly resolution Consumer Councils were recommended to be set up for redressal of the complaints and claims of consumers. Consumers are largely denied their due rights, especially in developing countries such as India. The consumers are spread widely all over a country and are poor, illiterate and are generally not aware of their rights, though their awareness has recently increased. The manufacturers and suppliers of goods or services often exploit consumers by adopting a number of unfair and restrictive trade practices. They often merge and also form tacit cartels to raise prices for maximising their profits at the expense of consumers.
For instance, in case of drugs manufacturers generally charge high prices which are much above their cost of production. Some pharmaceutical companies misuse their patent rights to exploit consumers. They
therefore need protection from unfair and restrictive trade practices of producers and suppliers of goods or services.
Misleading advertising is another means by which the producers deceive the consumers. Advertisement is of two types. One is informative advertisement which informs the consumers about the availability of certain products at certain prices. This is not objectionable as it provides information to the consumers.
However, more often the purpose of advertisement by the manufacturers and suppliers is to mislead the illinformed consumers about the quality and contents of their products and services. They indulge in what is called persuasive advertisement to compete away customers from their rivals. Such persuasive
advertisements serve no useful social purpose and lead to deception of consumers.
The cost of advertisement is added to the cost of production and this leads to very high prices being charged from the consumers. The Indian readers will be knowing well that crores of rupees are spent on film actors and cricket players as brand ambassadors and on advertisements on print and electronic media to promote the sale of their products. From whom such heavy costs incurred on advertising are recovered? Such heavy advertising expenditures just enable the manufacturers at the most to maintain their market shares of the product without adding much to its total output. The consumers need protection from such deception of persuasive advertisements.
The government should not allow such heavy advertising cost to be incurred as valid cost for calculation of taxable profits of the firms.
The other and highly injurious practice by the suppliers, especially in India, is widespread practice of
adulteration of commodities. The adulteration by private sector can take place right from the manufacturing point to the ultimate supplier of the products to the consumers.
It has been found that small pebbles and dust are mixed with wheat, maize, jawar and bajra to increase weight, sand is mixed with cement, leaves and barks of some trees are mixed with tea leaves. Again
Vanaspati is often mixed with Desi ghee and butter, etc. All these practices of adulteration are hazardous to health and life of the consumers and they need protection from them. But the most injurious is the widespread practice in India by manufacturers and dealers of spurious drugs which do immense harm to the health and life of the people.
It is due to the above practices of the manufacturers and suppliers which have resulted in consumer
protection movement and have forced the governments to enact legislation to protect the consumers.
Consumerism:
Social movement to protect the consumers from unfair and unhealthy restrictive trade practices by the manufacturers and suppliers is also called consumerism. An eminent management expert states,
“Consumerism is a social movement seeking to augment the rights and powers of consumers”. Similarly,
Boyd and Allen state, “Consumerism may be defined as the dedication of those activities of both public and private organisations which are designed to protect individuals from practices that impinge upon their rights as consumers”.

CASE STUDY

The Kentucky Fried Chicken -the world’s largest chicken based fast food chain and part of the $28
MILLION Pepsico group-decided to open about 100 outlets in India, the first one being in Bangalore. TheBangalore City Corporation charged the outlet with serving chicken with levels of mono sodium glutamate (MSG)- a flavouring agent-far higher than those permitted under the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954.
