Full Description
Welcome to the 2025 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 pricing practices and the cost of living, sustainability
and environmental issues (including misleading green claims), as well as the
digital economy and markets. 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.
