Bangkok Post, Corporate Counsellor Column

The Consumer Case Procedure Act (CCPA), which came into effect on August 23, 2008, was heralded as a new law that would give better protection to consumers. The intention was to give consumers greater access to justice, by making the procedure for consumers to file claims more user-friendly and more efficient.

This article illustrates the problem of delays under the CCPA using two case studies as examples.
