Businesses rapped for pricing law breaches

The National Consumer Agency secured one conviction and 45 enforcement actions against businesses who overcharged customers and failed to display prices in the first six months of the year.

The actions, taken between January and June, included 10 compliance notices issued to retailers nationwide for charging more for consumer goods than the price displayed.

A total of 29 on-the-spot fines were issued to traders for failing to display product prices. These enforcement actions arose from visits to traders by NCA officers.
