Dear Leigh, Thanks for that.
I really don't know from what you have described, sometimes it is resolved easily along the lines you just outlined, and sometimes intent is reviewed (i.e. was it for professional use - with a view to generating income). All I do know that there is a distinction generated by the nature of the "consumption" - between times you can use Consumer's Guarantees Act, and when things like the Fair Trading Act are the only recourse available. This is sometimes a problem/murky for home based businesses to get clarity on.
