The CPC actively promotes the establishment and maintenance of a transparent, simple and fair marketplace for consumers. In order to ensure transparency in buyer/seller transactions, we periodically conduct promotional activities and organize events in various localities to empower and educate buyers on their legal rights. Some of our activities include:
Workshops
Presentations
Displays
Surveys
Publications
We maintain a constant vigil over consumer- merchant practices and activities by:
Monitoring stores and other businesses to ensure that all merchants and vendors comply with the policies and regulations outlined in the Prices Control Act
On a rotational basis we will also conduct quality checks by means of surprise and random visits to business establishments
Acting as a prosecutor regarding any violations or contraventions of consumer protection laws
Inspection of stores on a regular basis to ensure compliance with established consumer laws
More detailed information on governmental regulatory information that affects you can also be found in the following bits of legislation:
