    When assessing whether the entrepreneur is responsible for the defect, the court must assess whether the defect was really in fact a defect, even if the entrepreneur does not manage to settle the complaint within the statutory 30-day period, after which there is a fiction of an irremediable defect.

  • Skutkový stav

    The buying consumer complained about a defect in the worn-out item, and the entrepreneur did not settle the complaint within the statutory period of 30 days, which makes the defect irremovable according to the law and the consumer can therefore withdraw from the contract. The consumer withdrew from the contract and demanded a refund of the purchase price.

  • Právní otázky

    Does the futile expiry of the complaint period, within which the entrepreneur is obliged to settle the complaint, automatically create the fiction of the existence of a defect and liability for it?

  • Rozhodnutí

    The right of defective performance does not apply according to the provisions of Section 2158 of the Civil Code if the claimed defect of the purchased item was caused by normal wear and tear. This means that the consumer in the present case did not have the right to withdraw from the contract of sale, even though the trader had not settled the complaint within the statutory period of 30 days. This is because the defect found can be regarded as a defect resulting from the continued use of the purchased item, which is not covered by liability for defects.
