In a decision that will be of interest to manufacturers and suppliers of goods to New Zealand consumers, the Court of Appeal confirmed that overseas manufacturers are covered by the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (CGA) irrespective of whether they have a place of business in New Zealand. The Court also considered whether products that are incorporated into a building remain covered by the consumer warranties provided by the CGA.
