More than 70% of inspected e-shops breached law in 2020

(Prague, 26 February 2021) The Czech Trade Inspection Authority evaluated inspections aimed at the compliance with legal regulations on the supply and sale of goods over the Internet in 2020. In total, it carried out 1,144 inspections and detected violations in 809 cases, or 70.7%. "The results of the 2020 inspections reaffirmed that the area of internet sales is one of those forms of trading in which consumer legislation is largely violated. Traders often use unfair and deceptive commercial practices and do not inform consumers about the conditions of claims and how to make a claim," says Mojmír Bezecný, CTIA Director, on the results of inspections.
