At Wellingtons Solicitors, we have a deep understanding of consumer protection laws in the United Kingdom. If you believe your consumer rights have been violated, it is important to seek legal advice from a solicitor who specializes in consumer law. As a consumer in the UK, you have certain rights and protections when purchasing goods or services. These rights are designed to ensure that you are treated fairly and that your interests are safeguarded.
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 is the primary legislation governing consumer rights in the UK. Some key provisions of the Act include:
- Goods must be of satisfactory quality:
- Services must be performed with reasonable care and skill
- Digital content must be as described
- Right to a refund, repair, or replacement
- Right to reject
- Extended warranties
- Unfair contract terms
In addition to the Consumer Rights Act, there are other regulations and legislation that protect consumers in specific areas, such as the Sale of Goods Act, the Supply of Goods and Services Act, and the Consumer Contracts Regulations.
