A buyer who specifies goods purchased under a trade name can always rely on the implied condition of fitness for purpose in the Sale of Goods Act.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The implied condition of fitness for a particular purpose does not automatically apply when goods are purchased under a trade name. The buyer is presumed to rely on the seller's skill or judgment for the fitness of the goods for a particular purpose only when the buyer makes that purpose known to the seller, unless the goods are bought under their patent or trade name, in which case it is assumed the buyer is not relying on the seller's skill or judgment.
