Guyana Law: Attaching the loose link in consumer affairs and protection

By Abiola Inniss LLB, LLM, ACIArb It is a sore issue in the administration of justice in Guyana that oftentimes laws that have been passed by the National Assembly for the good of the nation are not practically or properly implemented, or simply sit on the shelves in the Parliament Buildings and elsewhere marking time.
