This is also consistent with international practice, as many cases with small-scale disputes can also apply the simplified procedure to ensure quick resolution and protect consumer rights. In addition, opinions also said that when the draft law is revised, it is necessary to clarify the content on consumer rights protection in cyberspace and in the financial sector, and at the same time specify the responsibilities of ministries and branches in building a database of information on consumer rights protection, reviewing the implementation and transitional provisions to avoid overlaps in implementation.
