When will the Consumer Protection Act come into operation?

[Vexa]

Sorry for the late reply Sieq.

I've been busy setting up my business.

The CPA's administrative provisions will be effective in a year's time.

The substantive provisions which will impact on service providers will as a general rule be effective 18 months from the date the act was assented to by the President.

I regret to also inform you that the CPA talk has been postponed until further notice due to student disturbances at CPUT.

Should you require any further information you can send me a PM.

Thanks.

Consumer Protection Seminar...

Hi, (because this thread is about Seminars) I do run a Seminar that addressed the impact and implications of:

1. The New Companies Act
2. King III Code of Corporate Governance
3. Consumer Protection

This is called the SINK or SWIM What's happening to my business in 2010?! Seminar.

I currently run them in Gauteng (Centurion, East and West Rand), KZN (Umhlanga and Highway Area) and Mpumalanga (Nelspruit).

I would be very interested in looking for people to collaborate with in these areas - as well as in the otehr parts of the country where there would be a need...
