What do you understand by legal environment? Give two examples which protect ‘consumer’s interests’.

Solution

Legal environment consists of rules and regulations, framed by the Parliament, under which business must operate. To exist and grow, business is required to follow all the rules and regulations that constitute this environment.

Two examples protecting ‘consumer’s interests’ are:

  1. Advertisement of alcoholic beverages is prohibited.
  2. Packets of cigarettes should mention the statutory warning ‘Cigarette smoking is injurious to health’.
