What do harassed parents do when their child becomes the victim of a doctorýs apathy? Can a consumer sue a housing society which has fobbed him off with a substandard house? To millions of middle-class Indian consumer courts promise speedy and inexpensive redressal of grievances about deficient services, unfair trade practices and defective goods. In this, the first book of its kind, newspaper columnist and consumer rights activist Pushpa Girimaji provides an exclusive insight into the functioning of the consumer courts and the invaluable service they render, offering advice on the pitfalls to be avoided. Starting with the basics, she gives an explanation of the Consumer Protection Act and details how a consumer can fight his/her own case with or without a lawyer. Case studies and brief summations of court verdicts form the core of the book and touch fields as diverse as housing, health, telecommunications, railways, power supply and insurance. Written in a crisp, accessible style that consciously steers clear of jargon-ridden legalese, Consumer Rights for Everyone should become a valuable handbook for the conscious consumer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consumer protection policies create an environment whereby the clients and customers receive satisfaction from the delivery of goods and services. One of the disquieting features of India's democracy is that an average Indian consumer continues to be in a pitiable condition due to poverty, illiteracy, ignorance, and general apathy. Adulterated food, spurious medicines, and sub-standard domestic appliances are pushed over the counter with ease. Unethical advertisements appear in print and electronic media. When it became imperative to protect the consumers from sub-standard goods and deficient services, and also provide relief by way of compensation, India's Consumer Protection Act was enacted in 1986. The objective of this Act is to offer better protection to the country's consumers against the fraudulent practices of suppliers. The Act provides for effective safeguards for consumers against various types of exploitation and unfair dealings, relying on mainly compensatory rather than punitive or preventive approach. This book examines the rights of consumers and the protective measures adopted in India and other countries. It specifically deals with the statutory measures for redressal of consumer grievances provided under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. [Subject: India Studies, Economics, Business]

Download or read book EU Consumer Law and Human Rights written by Iris Benöhr and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, consumer law has played an instrumental role in the EU as a tool for market integration. There are now signs in the new EU legal framework and jurisprudence that this may be changing. The Lisbon Treaty contains provisions affecting consumer law and, at the same time, it grants binding legal force to the EU Charter, which in turn adds a fundamental rights dimension to consumer protection. This evolution, however, is still at an early stage and may be thwarted by conflicting trends. Moreover, it may generate tensions between social objectives and economic goals. This book provides the first comprehensive analysis of these developments and examines new avenues that may be opening for consumer law, focusing on three key areas: financial services, electronic communication and access to justice. Through a systematic analysis of relevant cases, the book traces the development of a human rights dimension in consumer law and details the ramifications that the post-Lisbon legal framework may have on consumer protection and policy. This book concludes by proposing new directions in consumer law, striking a compromise between social and economic demands.
