Front gardens - another chance to cheat guests?
(Prague, June 23, 2011) The first of series of control actions planned for the summer season was carried out by inspectors of the Středočeský and Prague Inspectorate of the CTIA. On June 16, 2011, they focused on fairness of services provided at front gardens of restaurants in various towns of the region. In total they visited and checked 43 front gardens and found infringements in every fourth of them (11 cases). “Similar controls of premises and services providers will continue, especially in touristic areas,” said ing. Jan Štěpánek, the Acting Director General of the CTIA, after he learned about the results.
Within the control of services provided at 43 front gardens of restaurants, inspectors found breaches of obligations in 11 of them. The most frequent infringement was provision of lower weight than declared (in 5 cases); in 3 cases inspectors were informed about a lower price than was the real price and in 2 cases, consumption of control was billed incorrectly. In one case, bill on purchase with all required information was not given out after consumer’s request. 

Action taken:
Inspectors issued bans on use of 4 pieces of uncertified measuring tools until remedy. For detected defects, 3 fines in the total amount of CZK 2,000 were imposed at the spot and administrative proceedings will be launched with other 8 controlled subjects.
