Consumerism as an ideology has come to stay in business literature, and the need to ensure consumer welfare has been long recognised by legislations all over the world. The new Consumer Protection Act, 2019 has been passed with the objective of addressing the new challenges that consumers face in today’s digital era. The Act aims to provide timely and effective administration and settlement of consumer disputes.
This course has been curated to give an overview of the consumer protection movement in India, the new concepts introduced by the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, in addition to the widely recognised basic consumer rights and sector-specific protection of consumers and service providers. The course will help consumers, sellers, service providers, activists, lawyers and law students.
