The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013
These Regulations implement most provisions of Directive 2011/83/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2011 on consumer rights, amending Council Directive 93/13/EEC and Directive 1999/44/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Directive 85/577/EEC and Directive 97/7/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (“the Directive”). The remaining provisions of the Directive are implemented in the Consumer Rights (Payment Surcharges) Regulations 2012 (“the Payment Surcharges Regulations”) and the Enterprise Act 2002 (Part 8 EU Infringements) Order 2013. That Order provides that enforcement procedures under Part 8 of the Enterprise Act 2002 apply in relation to a breach of these Regulations and the Payment Surcharges Regulations. A Transposition Note detailing how the Directive is implemented in the UK is available from the BIS website at www.gov.uk/bis.
