"The issue is also dealt with under the law of contract.
One party must make a firm offer to another, which may be accepted or rejected.
When an incorrect price is discovered, the store owner has the right to refuse to accept the offer of payment from a customer, so no contract is formed."
This mistake is also covered in the article.
An explicit purpose of statutory law is to overrule common law, which is what the law of contract is. The Act always overrules the common law. Why is this so hard to understand? The act is now the law that must be followed by the courts, no ifs, buts or maybes!
The rest of the article deals with cases that never came before the NCC, never mind the courts, so it carries about as much weight is the musings of a chimp.
Come back to me when you have something that starts with "Mr XXX vs Large Faceless retailer, Southern Gauteng High court, 2012".
