• Consumer legislation bans unfair and abusive trading practices.
• A commercial practice is unfair if it is either misleading or aggressive.
• Misleading commercial practices are normally the result of false or omission of important information about products or services offered for sale.
• Aggressive practices are considered unfair because they impair consumers’ buying decisions through harassment or coercion.
• Unfair trading practices may be flagged for inspection to the Office for Consumer Affairs on https://mccaa.org.mt/home/infringement or via e-mail on info@mccaa.org.mt.
