This law aims to create a fair trading environment for you and businesses. It protects your interests as a consumer and helps businesses compete fairly. The goal is for everyone to feel confident when buying and selling things.

The law gives you certain guarantees when you buy goods or services from a supplier. For example, when you buy something, it should be reasonably safe, fit for its purpose, and of acceptable quality. When you get a service, it should be done with reasonable care and skill.

If the goods or services you receive don’t meet these guarantees, you have rights to seek help or compensation from the suppliers and manufacturers. This means you can take action if something you bought isn’t as good as it should be or if a service wasn’t done properly.
