NCDRC

The Supreme Court has extended the tenure of Prem Narain, a non-judicial member of the National Consumer Disputes Resolution Commission (NCDRC), by two months.

The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) has awarded compensation of Rs 25 lakh for medical negligence to the wife of a patient who died in the Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore.

The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission has held that a pre-printed and fixed ‘informed consent cum undertaking’ form used by hospitals is unfair and deceptive and would amount to unfair trade practice within the meaning of section 2(1)(r) of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986.

The Consumer Protection Act, 1986 seeks to protect and promote the consumers’ interest through speedy and inexpensive redressal of their grievances.

The new Consumer Protection Act 2019, which recently replaced the three-decade old (1986) Act (last amended in 2003),carries a number of good news points for the consumer. When it is finally notified, it will initiate a number of changes.

The Supreme Court bench comprising Justice D Y Chandrachud and Ajay Rastogi has held that when a complaint contains a claim for payment in Indian rupees, payment is to be made in Indian Rupees.
