Protect Consumers from Monopolistic Practices Leading to Submission

Abstract

The Consumer Protection has been considered as one of the renewable legal issues due to the renewed threats which the consumer faces from time to time, especially with the stagnant or slow development of rules that protect him. Hence the consumer is the weak party in the economic relations and in his legal relations with the providers of goods and services, and the arbitrary practices that passively affects the contractual balance between the two parties. With the multiplicity of styles and images of consumer protection, it amounts of criticism and decrease that face the conventional collateral and the general rules as means of protection for the consumer, as well as modern and specialized guarantees; where the real problem lies in the lack of proportionality between the size of the threats and safeguards provided. Perhaps this is the reason that encouraged us for this carrying out research, which is divided into a preliminary introduction and three chapters. In the introductory section, we dealt with a statement which defines the consumer, and the concept of consumer protection, and a statement of the most important direct and indirect threats facing the consumer. In the first chapter, we reviewed the results and the effects of monopoly and other monopolistic practices; whereas in the second chapter we showed the guarantees to traditional public assessments for consumer protection. The third chapter is left to renew the concept of real protection for the consumer, through the supervisory system for the consumer, whether traditional or specialized which is have been contributed to avoid the shortcomings of traditional guarantees which characterized as general, inadequate , poorly efficient. We finished this work with several recommendations that could reinforce the consumer protection on either side of the legislation or in practice.
