CONSUMER PROTECTIONAL ACT

On 1 April 2011, the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 came into full effect. The Act requires inter alia, that businesses dealings with consumers are fair and reasonable.

The Act impacts largely on the manner in which goods and services are marketed and supplied to consumers in South Africa. Non compliance allows for the potential exposure to fines and consumer compliants, which makes it of utmost importance for Corporate Companies to familiarise themselves (from a business and trade perspective), with the key provisions of the Act and to align their business practices and relevant agreements with the Act.

This is just a slight overview of how we assist our clients and can assist future clients, ensuring that the Act is implemented and our clients are aware of their Consumer's rights.
