Timeshare, Holiday Products, Resale and Exchange Contracts (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018

Timeshare, Holiday Products, Resale and Exchange Contracts (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018

Draft Affirmative
Laid on: 22 October 2018

Using the power in section 8 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, this instrument, amends the Timeshare, Holiday Products, Resale and Exchange Contracts Regulations 2010 (‘the 2010 Regulations’).  It does so to ensure that the protections for UK consumers purchasing timeshares or related products remain the same following the UK’s departure from the EU to the extent that this is possible. The instrument also widens the scope of the 2010 Regulations, so they apply to certain contracts governed by the law of an EEA state – putting those contracts in the same position as contracts governed by the law of non-EEA third countries. The instrument also changes language requirements so that information and contracts must be provided in English rather than and the official language of an EEA state.  

This instrument applies to consumer protection which is a transferred matter for Northern Ireland under the Northern Ireland Act 1998.
