A Review Of Consumer Protection Act 1986 & 2019 With Reference Of Medical Professionals

Abstract

It should go without saying that the main reason this legislation was passed was to protect customers from unethical business practices. A comprehensive consumer protection statute that solely dealt with consumer protection was passed in 1986. This act is largely regarded as perhaps the most forward-looking, all-inclusive, and singular piece of regulation ever passed, marking a turning point in the evolution of social-economic policy. In India, no amending acts were passed after 2019, although international consumer laws were created in 2020. Numerous developing nations, such as India, have included consumer protection laws and practices based on suggestions from the UN. Thus, the review paper discusses the relevance of the Consumer Protection Act globally and in relation to the Indian environment.
