Continuing from Our Previous Post<\/h2>\n

The avenues available to consumers for exercising their statutory rights are established through both administrative and judicial processes.<\/p>\n

Consumer arbitration boards are bodies established under the Consumer Protection Law No. 6502 to resolve disputes arising from consumer transactions and practices directed at consumers.<\/p>\n

The Consumer Arbitration Boards, which are chaired by the President and headed in provinces by the provincial director of commerce and in districts by the district governor or an official appointed by them, consist of representatives from municipalities, bar associations, merchant\/tradesman organizations, and consumer organizations.<\/p>\n
