This commentary, written by a team of consumer law experts, provides the first comprehensive review of the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 - or 'the CPA' as it is commonly known. The authors provide a detailed explanation of each section of the CPA and of the schedules to the Act. Case law in the area of consumer protection is presented and analysed in a clear, concise manner. Developments in consumer law internationally, where relevant to the CPA and other aspects of consumer law in South Africa, are also discussed. The arrangement of material is straightforward: each section of the CPA is reproduced and commented upon in sequential order, beginning with section 1 'Definitions'. Chapter headings are the same as those used in the Act. The Introduction, on the other hand, provides a more general overview of the CPA in terms of its historical background, and offers separate commentary on the impact of the Act on the law of contract and on franchising.
