Ss 232, 234 and 235 DMCCA 2024 relating to a consumer’s right of redress are not yet in force and CPUTR 2008 will continue to govern a consumer’s right of redress for the time being. The enhanced consumer protection enforcement powers also entered into force on 6 April 2025. Further provisions which are not yet in force include the revocation of the Alternative Dispute Resolution for Consumer Disputes (Competent Authorities and Information) Regulations 2015 (Consumer ADR Regulations), SI 2015/542, requirements for subscription contracts and consumer savings scheme contracts.
