Abstract
Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 20082 (hereinafter referred to as the Regulations-)
came into force. The Regulations have radically overhauled the existing UK provisions regulating fair trading, as part of the further harmonisation of consumer protection laws across the EU.3 This being a maximum harmonisation
measure, 23 pieces of domestic law have been repealed in whole or part and a completely new framework to regulate fair trading put in their place.
