The increasing use of non-legislative instruments to regulate consumer protection

In an ever-evolving marketplace, policy makers and regulators are increasingly focusing on establishing legislative and regulatory frameworks that protect consumers. Being well-versed in the evolution of consumer protection rules is key to the future success of businesses.

In this series, our multi-disciplinary team discuss a range of key developments in the consumer protection that are shaping Canadian commerce, and how to navigate the regulations that govern them.

The increasing use of non-legislative instruments to regulate consumer protection
