(b) a third person ( the manufacturer ):
(i) is liable to compensate the customer in respect of the same loss or damage by reason of a provision of this Division; or
(ii) in a case where the goods referred to in paragraph (a) are not of the kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or consumption - would, if sections 73, 74, 75 and 76 applied in relation to those goods, be liable to compensate the customer in respect of the same loss or damage by reason of any of those sections,
