In their daily lives, the average Quebecer enters into a large number of consumer contracts.
Consumer law governs everyday transactions, for example with a grocer or an auto repair garage, but also less common transactions, such as buying a vacation package online or signing a snow removal contract.
In Quebec, the Consumer Protection Act sets out general rules that apply to all consumer contracts, as well as specific rules for certain types of contracts that carry particular risks. For example, this Act governs credit contracts, distance contracts and agreements negotiated with itinerant merchants (door-to-door or kiosk).
Many situations can give rise to a consumer law dispute. Whether it represents consumers or merchants, our firm focuses its efforts on settling these disputes out of court.
