BLST2BSL: Ethical Footwear - Business Law

Internal code: MAS6232

Business Law:

Peter owns and runs a shoe shop, Ethical Footwear, in Sydney. He sells custom-made, artisan shoes. He prides himself on producing footwear in a much more sustainable, less toxic and more compassionate way than using animal hides. Peter’s clients are vegans looking for high-quality alternatives to animal leather. Peter has sourced the material for his vegan line of footwear from No Animal Harmed (NAH) since 2010. Sadly, the owner of NAH passed away recently and Peter had to find another supplier. Peter identified Animal-friendly Cobbler Supplies (ACS) as a potential new supplier of vegan leather. Question: 1) Was it a term of the contract between Peter and Animal-friendly Cobbler Supplies that the vegan leather would be all-natural? 2) Was there an implied term in Samantha’s contract with Peter, that the shoes will be made with all-natural vegan leather with no synthetic material/ingredients involved? 3) Was the colour of the sneakers’ soles a condition or a warranty of the contract? 4) Is Peter still responsible for the sneaker soles being the wrong colour?
