Are you ready for the Consumer Protection Act?
The Consumer Protection Act, 2008 (the CPA) is coming into force on 31 March 2011. It will have a significant effect on the supply of goods and services. The act will also regulate the relationship between suppliers and consumers in detail.
One of the most controversial provisions of the CPA relates to the liability of suppliers. If someone supplies goods, and those goods cause harm to the consumer, the supplier will be liable for the harm. This will be the case even if the supplier was not negligent. Further, all parties in the supply chain can be held liable by the consumer. This includes the manufacturer, the wholesaler and the business that sells the goods to the public. |
