Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017

Sale of goods - Supplementary matters

200: Rights and duties enforceable by proceeding

You could also call this:

“You can go to court if someone doesn't follow the rules in this law”

You can take legal action to enforce any right, duty, or responsibility that is mentioned in subparts 1 to 5. This means if someone doesn’t do what they’re supposed to do according to these subparts, you can go to court about it. However, this only applies if the subparts themselves don’t say something different. It’s like having rules in a game - if someone breaks the rules, you can tell the referee, unless the rules themselves say you can’t.
