Product description

An essential commentary to the Consumer Protection Act and case law, highlighting the main issues of consumer protection law from both a business and legal perspective.

The Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 (CPA) has had a major impact on the way in which suppliers and consumers do business.

Since the first Edition, there have been significant developments in the law relating to consumer protection in South Africa and this has necessitated a complete revision of this first edition.

The authors consider issues relating to conduct and supply, conclusion of agreements, enforcement and redress. New chapters include Proceedings before the Tribunal, Consumer Class Actions and E-commerce to address the growing number of consumers transactions occurring online.

Consumer Protection Law in South Africa Second Edition will greatly assist practitioners, researchers, suppliers, consumers, enforcement institutions, students and regulators in providing an in-depth view of consumer protection law.

Available in print, eBook and online format. Online format can only be purchased as part of a Lexis+ base package. Visit www.lexisnexis.co.za/lexisplus for more information.
