EW 33: Consideration for hire purchase agreement or finance lease

You could also call this:

“Costs and payments for hire purchase or finance lease agreements”

When you are part of a hire purchase agreement or a finance lease, you might pay or receive money for it. This is called consideration.

The consideration for these agreements includes more than just the price. It also covers any costs the person lending the item (the lessor) had to pay to get the item ready for you to use. This could be things like setting it up or installing it.

These extra costs are part of the consideration as long as they haven’t already been counted in another way. The law refers to this other way as section EW 32.
