107C Meaning of consumer claim—ch 7A
(1) A consumer claim is a claim by an individual (the claimant) relating

for the claimant’s personal, domestic or household use or
consumption; or
(b) personal financial advice supplied to the claimant by a
defendant.
(2) However, a claim relating to goods or services is not a consumer
claim if, in the course of business, the claimant holds himself or
herself out as acquiring the goods or services from the defendant for
the purpose of—
(a) resupplying them; or
(b) using them up or transforming them in or in relation to a process
of manufacture or production; or
