Product description
A good understanding of consumer law is essential for every business and organisation dealing with consumers. Staying clear of misleading and deceptive conduct, false representations and unfair practices is important – not only to avoid penalties but also to avoid damage to reputation.
Amendments to legislation have extended consumer protection obligations and substantially increased the maximum penalties for breaches by companies and individuals alike.
Consumer Law Made Easy sets out the practical essentials of consumer law in New Zealand. Its primary function is to identify potential issues that are faced by businesses on a daily basis. This book is a must-read for sales, marketing and advertising personnel. Whether it is the law relating to unfair practices, consumer guarantees or unsolicited electronic messages, this book covers it all. And much more. It also covers what can happen if you get it wrong.
By improving understanding, Consumer Law Made Easy assists businesses to comply with their legal obligations.
