Details

These draft regulations would give consumers a new private right to seek redress from businesses and, where appropriate, compensation where they have been the victim of a misleading or aggressive commercial practice. The new rights would apply where the consumer has entered into a contract or made a payment to the trader.

Our request for comments on the detail of the proposals closed on 11 October 2013. We will respond in due course.
