The consumers in Pakistan are not available with pertinent legislation and statues for adequate consumer protection, whereby they could have recourse to redress mechanisms. Keeping this in view, CRCP initiated a series of consultative meetings with experts in the field, which included eminent legal practitioners and experts of law. A number of issues including the setting up of consumer councils and consumer courts were discussed and debated. Ultimately, CRCP came up with the draft of the Model Consumer Protection Act, 2000, and in the same year also launched a comprehensive campaign for its enactment. For this purpose, the draft law was submitted to the Federal Law Minister, Chief Justice of Pakistan, provincial governors and Pakistan Law Commission. Later, CRCP circulated it among the pubic at large to get support from people. Throughout the year, CRCP remained engaged in correspondence with and gave presentations to the Pakistan Law Commission. CRCP was also invited by the Pakistan Law Commission for discussing the Model Consumer Protection Act, 2000.
