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.
