This area covers situations where a seller or advertiser misleads a consumer or hides material facts, such as false claims, bait advertising, or deceptive price practices. A solicitor in this field helps by reviewing the truthfulness of marketing, drafting cautions or letters, negotiating settlements, and pursuing or defending claims in the county or high court, often under the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 and related law. They also advise on misrepresentation in contract formation and represent clients in regulator investigations and court proceedings when a regulated complaint is made.
