Consumer Policy in the United Kingdom.
Consumer policy in the UK reflects the government's belief that the best form of protection cornes from consumers making informed choices in an open and compétitive market and that adapting the basic legal framework should be considered with caution. There is no general sale of goods législation spécifie to consumers but transactions affecting consumers are subject to many statutes. Enforcement is carried out by the Trading Standarts departments of local authorities and there are provisions for a law cost small daims procedure in the county courts. In addition, voluntary codes of practice hâve developed ; they are a more flexible instrument than régulations, and provide for conciliation mechanisms for handling complaints. But enforcement of those codes should be more effective. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
