He will provide insight into the impact and implications of recent amendments made to consumer protection legislation, most notably of which grants the Consumer Protection Board authority to issue orders and take action against products it deems potentially harmful to consumers. Chitchai will also comment on a number of pertinent case studies to assist business owners and operators in developing consumer case strategies.
