Consultation description
The CMA is consulting on draft consumer law compliance advice for trader recommendation platforms. These are businesses that:
- operate a website or app that consumers may use to find a trader to carry out home improvement, maintenance, or repair work
- make representations or impressions that the traders listed or hosted on these sites are of a particular quality
The purpose of the compliance advice is to help relevant businesses to understand and comply with their obligations under consumer protection law.
