Features and Benefits
With certain exceptions, the CPA applies to all consumer transactions (as defined in the CPA) in Ontario. Its interpretation and judicial treatment are particularly relevant in today's legal and economic landscape. Consumer protection is engaged in all manner of transactions across a broad range of industries. As a result, lawyers in virtually all areas of practice – from corporate/commercial, securities and real estate to litigation and intellectual property – can benefit from a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the CPA and the issues that may arise in relation to it.
Through its examination of the legislation and the case law, The Annotated Ontario Consumer Protection Act, 2024 Edition provides a superior level of insight that legal practitioners can leverage to their advantage. In particular, this volume features:
- Tables which present the information in an easily accessible way
- Cross-references to related provisions, so readers can understand how various sections of the CPA work together
- Lists of the top 10 written consumer complaints received by the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery
- Summaries of the enforcement actions taken by the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery since 2008
Highlights of the 2024 Edition

- Updated legislation including recent and forthcoming amendments to the Consumer Protection Act
