Consumer Protection Act (CPA) Why attend the LEAD seminar Generalist attorneys, litigators, conveyancers and commercial drafters regularly face challenges in applying the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act in their everyday business. In addition, the Act keeps changing the legal landscape which means that attorneys need to keep up to date with its impact on fields of practice. The seminar aims to make delegates specialists in consumer law and also equip them to deal with issues arising in interpretation of the Act.
