Robertson v Swift [2014] UKSC 50, [2014] All ER (D) 45 (Sep)
The proceedings involved a contract made in the claimant’s home that the claimant had purported to cancel. The defendant charged him a cancellation fee and refused to refund him a deposit. In finding for the claimant, the Supreme Court held that a failure by a trader to give written notice of the right to cancel did not deprive a consumer of the statutory right to cancel under the Cancellation of Contracts made in a Consumer’s Home, or Place of Work etc Regulations 2008 (SI 2008/1816).
