The previous case law on the point of durability had been somewhat unclear. In Lambert v Lewis [1982] AC 225, Lord Reid stated with reference to s 14(3) (but presumably equally applicable to s 14(2)) that it was 'a continuing warranty that the goods will continue to be fit for that purpose for a reasonable time after delivery'. Whatever the previous position, it is now clear that durability will need to be a feature of goods in order to be classified as satisfactory.
