Enforcement action under the Enterprise Act

The Enterprise Act 2002 allows us to seek Court Orders against businesses who breach certain consumer protection laws and who act in a way that could harm the collective interests of consumers.

However, before taking action the trader is invited to respond to the allegations against them, and we attempt to work with them to achieve compliance. Where possible we aim to obtain a Formal Undertaking from the trader instead of going to court, by signing this they agree to abide by the terms of the Undertaking. If there is continued non-compliance or the trader breaches the Formal Undertaking then court action can be pursued.
