TFL Vsebine / Pravni letopis

Zgolj obstoj potrošniških pravic ni dovolj za pravilno delovanje trga, saj je ključno, da se te izvršujejo tudi v praksi. Namen prispevka je predstaviti pravni okvir, ki je namenjen sankcioniranju pravil prava varstva potrošnikov, s poudarkom na ZVPot-1. Pravila o sankcioniranju kršitev potrošniške zakonodaje so izjemno kompleksna. Gre za sankcij v okviru treh vej prava, ki jih ureja ZVPot-1 – upravne, kaznovalne in civilne. Javnopravno in civilnopravno varstvo imata isti cilj: odvračilni učinek na trgovca. Prispevek se osredotoča na upravno in kaznovalno varstvo, na civilnopravno varstvo pa le v okviru novosti na področju nepoštenih poslovnih praks.

The mere existence of consumer rights is not enough for the proper functioning of the market, as it is crucial that they are also enforced in practice. The purpose of the contribution is to present the legal framework, which is intended to sanction breaches of the rules of consumer protection law, with an emphasis on ZVPot-1. The rules on sanctioning breaches of consumer legislation are extremely complex. ZVPot-1 regulates sanctions from three branches of law - administrative, criminal, and civil. Both public law and civil law rules (i.e. public and private enforcement) pursue the same goal: a deterrent effect on the trader. This contribution focuses on administrative and criminal enforcement and on private enforcement only in the context of novelties in the field of unfair business practices.
