6.2 Legislative Objectives and Impact of Consumer Protection Laws

The CPA 2075's objectives: the consumer's rights' protection-and-promotion; the honest market's discipline (the quality, the weight, the price); the defective goods-and-services' redress; the unfair practices' prohibition; the consumer welfare's institutional machinery. The impact's honest audit: the market monitoring's visibility (the inspections, the publicised penalties — the festival-season drives); the complaints' machinery in use; the challenges' ledger (the enforcement's thinness against the informal market's scale; the awareness's gap — the rural consumer's distance; the forum's accessibility — the Consumer Court's geography; the lab's dependence — the testing infrastructure's limits).
