Description
Welcome to ICLG - Consumer Protection 2020. This inaugural edition provides one of the first comparative guides to consumer protection legislation and enforcement around the world.
Although the level of consumer protections and enforcement differ around the world, this is an area which has been the subject of increased regulatory focus in many jurisdictions. This is expected to continue as a number of jurisdictions consider enhancing regulators' and consumers' powers and ability to enforce consumer protections. The COVID-19 crisis has also led to various challenges to consumer law enforcement; for example, in relation to retailer profiteering, misleading conduct or unfair contract terms.
This publication provides a practical overview of the key protections from which customers benefit and the ways in which those rights may be enforced, and so we believe it will prove an essential resource for lawyers across the globe who are advising businesses or consumers in this fast-developing area.
