Consultation on the repeal of the Property Misdescriptions Act
1991
The Department for Business Innovation and Skills has consulted
about the possible repeal of the PMA on the basis that the Consumer
Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 provide similar
protections for consumers. The full consultation paper is available
from http://www.bis.gov.uk/Consultations/repeal-property-misdescriptions-act-1991
The NAEA's
response is attached. The NAEA is strongly opposed to a
repeal.
