Understanding your Consumer Rights in Georgia: A Legal Research Discussion
You told several members of your family at a Sunday dinner that you are taking a
law class in college, and suddenly everyone starts asking you for legal advice. Your
mother ordered a sofa on sale at Rafferty's Furniture and when she got it in her
house, the colors did not look good with her wall color. She called the store and
told them to take back the furniture, but they said they don't give refunds on sale
merchandise.
Your Aunt Bessie said she bought a car at Honest Bob's Used Cars on Memorial
Drive and she has had it in the shop almost constantly since her purchase, with
bad transmission problems and leaking oil.
You have learned that consumer law varies from state to state, so you know that
you need to find out what consumer law is available in Georgia to protect their
rights. Research on the web and see what remedies each of them has, if any. Write
a clearly written answer for both situations, stating their legal rights in the State of
Georgia and tell me if the laws as stated seem equitable to you.
