Tactical Use of the Consumer Contract Regulations in Dispute Resolution

Introduction

The Consumer Contract Regulations (2013) is an underused and often misunderstood tool within a litigator’s arsenal. The CCR’s application is widespread and engages almost every relationship imaginable between a ‘trader’ and a ‘consumer’.

Understanding the application of the CCR and applying tactical concepts to use the CCR defensively on behalf of traders, and offensively on behalf of consumers, can be an extremely useful way of short-cutting lengthy and expensive litigation.

This virtual classroom seminar is designed to give an overview of the subject area, followed by in-depth practical examples to enable practitioners to better understand why, how, and when, to deploy the CCR to great effect.
