The Consumer Protection (Amendment) Regulations 2014
These Regulations amend the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 (S.I. 2008/1277) (“the 2008 Regulations”) which implement Directive 2005/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning unfair business-to-consumer commercial practices (OJ No L 149, 11.6.2005, p22). They provide consumers with rights to redress in respect of misleading and aggressive commercial practices.
