EUROPEAN UNION (CONSUMER INFORMATION, CANCELLATION AND OTHER RIGHTS) (AMENDMENT) REGULATIONS 2016

These regulations amend existing Irish laws to align with European Union directives concerning consumer rights. They focus on providing consumers with clearer information and stronger cancellation rights for certain types of contracts. The changes primarily affect consumers entering into distance or off-premises contracts, ensuring they receive adequate pre-contractual information and have a defined period to withdraw from agreements without penalty.
