Consumer Law
Defect and delay claims arising from residential sale contracts, consumer arbitration committee and court proceedings.
Consumer law protects consumers who buy goods and services. Defective goods and services, distance and off-premises sales, off-plan home sales and timeshare-holiday contracts are its main subjects.
Disputes below a set value go to consumer arbitration committees; above it, to the consumer courts after mediation.
