Fair Trading Act 1986

Miscellaneous provisions

47D: Duty to assist

You could also call this:

“This section about helping others was removed from the law”

This part of the law used to be about helping people, but it doesn’t exist anymore. It was called ‘Duty to assist’ and was part of the Fair Trading Act 1986. The government removed this section on 1 October 2012. They did this when they made changes to a different law called the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. Since this part of the law is no longer active, you don’t need to worry about it or follow it anymore.
