The rules governing lack of conformity in consumer sales are to be found in the Danish Sale of Goods Act (The Act). The Act constitutes inter alia a legitimate definition of lack of conformity of goods in consumer conditions. Generally, guarantees are not within the formalities of Danish law. They have been regulated by ordinary contractual law; the Marketing Practices Act will implement the Directive in this regard. According to the interpretation of the Directive and The Act, present Danish law must be altered in a number of (minor) requests in order to conform with the Directive. In Denmark a working group will put forward proposals for amendments to The Act.
