International Journal on Consumer Law and Practice

On July 24, 2020, the Central Government notified the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, thereby replacing the Consumer Protection Act, 1986.

This is done by discussing different nuances from Competition Commission, and Consumer Commission along with narratives from United Kingdom’s Consumer Rights Act, 2015. The author argues that an explicit provision empowering the Consumer …

International Journal on Consumer Law and Practice

As the world shifts to technological advancements, the advent of e-commerce marks its peak, particularly in India, where it has been earmarked as the fastest growing market with an annual growth rate of 51%. While these developments are an important part of globalization, a few challenges come along. Issues like unfair contracts, privacy, data protection, faulty goods, refund or return remained unaddressed as the earlier existing Consumer Protection Act, 1986 did not elucidate on the same. Given the above, the Law Commission of India had recommended that a separate law be enacted for better consumer protection. Based on the recommendations …

Today, we are standing at a juncture where we have a series of legislative, judicial, and administrative efforts to protect consumers. On the other hand, we have a plethora of incidents of exploitation of consumers. The nature of the legislation available for the protection of consumers is not purely criminal but sometimes …

A Ray Of Hope For Consumers In Nigeria As Exemption Clauses Slide Towards Extinction, Felicia Nwanne Monye

International Journal on Consumer Law and Practice

Exemption clauses have become a common feature in contracts of all forms, including contracts for the sale of goods and services, electronic commerce and consumer contracts. The effect is more severe in business-to-consumer contracts as consumers are not in a position to negotiate the terms of contracts and usually transact on the standard forms of suppliers. To ensure that businesses do not abuse the weaker bargaining position of consumers, some countries have adopted some measures to curtail or prohibit the use of exemption clauses in consumer contracts. A prominent statutory enactment in Nigeria in this regard is the Federal Competition …

Fintech, Payday Loans And The Changing Landscape Of Cash-Advance Consumer Credit In The United States, James P. Nehf

International Journal on Consumer Law and Practice

High-cost, cash-advance or “payday” loans have plagued low-in come consumers in the United States for several decades. With little regulation at the federal level, states have created a wide variety of regulatory frameworks addressing payday loans--from banning payday loans altogether in some states to permitting them with few restrictions on fees and practices in others. In recent years, however, an alternative to payday loans has emerged as fin tech lenders partner with employers to offer “earned wage access” or EWA plans to low wage workers which allows them to obtain part of their earned wages before their actual payday.
