Advertising for a sector - the consumer protection administration variants

Abstract

Consumer protection, as a substantive law at the border between public and private law, seeks to enforce consumer rights through two sets of instruments: the maintenance and operation of consumer protection institutions as part of the executive branch, and the provision of judicial and extra-judicial enforcement. In this paper, we will examine the development and transformation of consumer protection 'administration', with a particular focus on the cardinal changes in the organisational system that have fundamentally reshaped the organisational, operational and procedural issues of domestic consumer protection as we approach the present day.
