Practice Area 10
Consumer Matters
Consumer complaints for deficiency in service, defective goods and unfair trade practices — filed and defended before the District, State and National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commissions.
The Practice
Consumer law offers a faster, less formal route to relief than a civil suit for many everyday disputes — with builders, banks, insurers, hospitals, telecom providers and online sellers. The chamber files and defends such complaints at every tier of the consumer-fora hierarchy.
We advise on jurisdiction by value, the reliefs available, and the increasingly common mediation-first stage, and represent clients through to execution of the commission’s order.

- Complaints against builders, banks & insurers
