Representation of consumer interests in government organizations

Representing consumers in government plays an important role in protecting their rights. Legal or legal assistance is required to apply orally or in writing to the appropriate authorities.

The law provides consumers with the right to apply orally or in writing to the appropriate authorities to protect their rights from substandard and harmful goods.

Who is a consumer?

A consumer is a person using, acquiring, ordering, or having the intention to purchase or order goods, works and services to satisfy personal needs.

Consumer rights violation

Persons guilty of a violation of consumer rights bear civil, administrative and criminal liability in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Thus, consumers can appeal to the courts for the protection of their rights under the law.

Consumer rights protection

Consumer rights protection is carried out by the court in the manner prescribed by law. In addition to satisfying the demands of the consumer, the court also decides on compensation for moral damage caused to him/her. Consumers are exempted from paying state duty when filing a claim for violation of consumer rights.

According to article 18 of the "Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights" of the Republic of Azerbaijan, in order to protect the legitimate interests of consumers (users) of goods (services, works), the state policy on consumer protection includes:

State supervision of the conformity of goods (services, works,) sold in the consumer market, including packaging, transportation, storage and the conditions for the sale of food products and medicines with sanitary-hygienic, environmental, technical standards, safety standards, norms and rules of trade;
