The 2010 Regulations simplified and expanded measures regulating the sale, marketing and content of timeshare contracts to better protect consumers. The Regulations also extended the scope of consumer protections to encompass new timeshare products emerging on the market as well as the resale of timeshares. The 2010 Regulations apply to holiday accommodation contracts, including timeshare contracts. Traders are required to provide consumers with key information before entering into a contract and the contract itself must comply with certain formalities. The 2010 Regulations also provide consumers with rights to withdraw from and terminate contracts. |

Consumer Protection (Enforcement) (Amendment etc.) Regulations 2020 |
05/05/20 |
Consumer Rights |
This instrument implements Regulation (EU) 2017/2394 of the European Parliament and of the Council on cooperation between national authorities responsible for the enforcement of consumer protection laws and repealing Regulation (EC) 2006/2004 (the new CPC Regulation) into UK law, where such implementation is necessary. While the new CPC Regulation is directly applicable in the UK, this instrument ensures that it operates correctly. It ensures that competent authorities have, in domestic law, the investigation and enforcement powers necessary to perform the functions required by the new CPC Regulation. The instrument ensures that those powers can be exercised in relation to EU laws (as implemented in domestic law) which have been brought in scope of the CPC Regulation for the first time. The UK is required to implement the CPC Regulation because the Regulation came into force on 17 January 2020 when the UK was still a member of the EU. |

Consumer Protection (Enforcement) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 |
14/09/20 |
Consumer Rights |
The Statutory Instrument amends a previous Statutory Instrument that was introduced by the Government to ensure the UK s consumer protection regime continues to work effectively after the UK s withdrawal from the EU. The Consumer Protection (Enforcement) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/203) (2019 Exit Regulations) deal with the collective redress regime for consumer protection. The aim of the 2019 Exit Regulations is to allow the UK collective redress regime to function effectively once the cross-border arrangements in the EU s CPC Regulation (2017/2394) and Injunctions Directive (2009/22/EC) no longer apply to the UK at the end of the transition period. The principal purpose of this instrument is to amend the 2019 Exit Regulations as a result of subsequent changes in the EU law and domestic law to which those Regulations relate. This instrument also amends other Exit Regulations in the consumer protection area, in connection with the Northern Ireland (NI) Protocol and to replace references to exit day with IP completion day. This instrument additionally amends Part 8 of the Enterprise Act 2002 (c. 40) in response to the Fourteenth Report of session 2019-21 of the House of Lords and House of Commons Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments (JCSI) relating to the Consumer Protection (Enforcement) (Amendment etc.) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/484). |
