Unit 5: Contract Law
CHAPTER 17: CARRYING OUT THE CONTRACT
E-ACTIVITY: CONSUMER PROTECTION IN YOUR PROVINCE OR TERRITORY (p. 538)
Activity: Prepare a Group Presentation on Consumer Protection
As consumers, we need to be aware of our rights and know how to protect
our interests. Under your provincial or territorial consumer protection
law, what rights and protections do you have when you make an economic
transaction? What tips can help you protect against fraud?
In a group, make a presentation about consumer protection.
- Look for information available from your province or territory’s
ministry for consumer affairs—for example:
- Form a group with some classmates and prepare to give a presentation
that briefly summarizes the main protections that are available and
answer the following questions.
- What are some of the situations in which consumers may need protection?
- What tips can help to protect you against fraud?
- How can a consumer file a complaint?
Use the following checklist to help you develop your presentation.
