**** Important new Legislation for Cheshire Businesses ***
The Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 (the CPRs) came into force on 26 May 2008 and implement the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive (UCPD). The aim of the UCPD is to harmonise consumer protection laws across the European Union to prevent business practices that are unfair to consumers, and all Member States are introducing equivalent legislation. The Regulations replace a lot of consumer protection legislation including Part III of the Consumer Protection Act 1987 (which dealt with misleading prices), the majority of the Trade Descriptions Act 1968, and the Control of Misleading Advertising Regulations 1988.
