  • this is where it gets tricky

    There's nothing tricky about it. Where there is demand, somebody will supply product to a higher quality than the minimum demanded by regulation.

    Most, if not all, of the safety equipment now mandatory on new cars was first offered as a premium option by car manufacturers.

  • Well prosecution-or defence-wise it is tricky. It's hard to enforce based on some 'plus expectancy' on top of the law.

  • If the supplier doesn't meet the contractual terms, the buyer has recourse to the civil courts. If anything, that's easier than getting a regulator to use criminal enforcement.
