The vulnerability of the consumer in the present day is owing to gaps in consumer law created by market place changes that have opened up opportunities for dishonest manufacturers and sellers to victimise people not familiar with the choices and to carry out scams using new technologies.

Well-researched case studies identify the lacunae in the area of consumer protection relating to areas/activities including drug market, food safety and e-commerce. They probe the difficulties faced by the enforcement agencies when it comes to detection of crime and apprehension of criminals.
