Consumer law is the group of laws that protect the public at large from unfair and predatory business practices. The practice of consumer law concerns itself with protecting individuals from unfair trade, inaccurate information, and unethical ways of doing business. In addition to the laws that direct corporate behaviour, there are also legal actions that exist in statutory and common law. When an individual brings a claim against a corporation because of a defective product, it’s called a product liability claim. An individual who suffers an injury and other losses because of a defective product can bring a compensation claim. They may ask for compensation for financial losses, pain and suffering, and other losses.
