Description
Welcome to the 2024 edition of ICLG - Consumer Protection. Although the level of consumer protection and enforcement differs around the world, it is clearly an area that is the subject of increasing regulatory focus in many jurisdictions. This is
expected to continue as many countries begin to enhance regulators' and consumers' powers of investigation, enforcement and redress. Consumer law is increasingly seen as an important element of the regulatory toolkit in a number of priority policy areas, including in relation to sustainability and environmental issues (with a particular focus in the past year on misleading green claims), as well as the digital economy and markets, with particular focus on the application of consumer law to online
marketplaces.
This publication provides a practical overview of the key provisions that protect consumers and the ways in which their rights may be enforced. We believe it will prove an essential resource for lawyers across the globe who are advising businesses or
consumers in this fast-developing area.
