Asked by: Frank Doran (Labour - Aberdeen North)
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what consideration he has given to the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Durkin v DSG Retail Limited and another and its effect on existing consumer law.
Answered by Andrea Leadsom
The Government notes the judgment in which the Supreme Court upheld an individual's right to rescind a contract of sale and a related credit agreement. The Government believes that existing consumer credit law adequately protects individuals in this regard.
