Under a supply contract the purchaser has provided drawings to the supplier. Under the supply contract the purchaser has an obligation to review and 'approve' drawings. The supplier is disputing that the purchaser's role is merely advisory with what appears to be an attempt to relieve itself of any design responsibility. Surely however, the supplier must provide his product with a design that is fit for purpose and in accordance with the goods information and even if it is not in accordance with the goods information then the responsibility is with the supplier? Is there not an implied term under the sale of goods act in this regard?
