HKC&ED encourage MSO to enroll the seminar on the newly amended Trade Descriptions Ordinance

2013-11-25

The Trade Descriptions (Unfair Trade Practices) (Amendment) Ordinance 2012 has come into effect on 19 July 2013. Among others, it extends the coverage of the Trade Descriptions Ordinance (TDO) (Cap. 362) so as to prohibit specified unfair trade practices in the market, including false trade descriptions of services, misleading omissions, aggressive commercial practices, bait-and-switch, bait advertising and wrongly accepting payment. To promote awareness of the newly amended TDO and encourage compliance by traders, a seminar on the TDO is scheduled for 9 December 2013. Since the services provided by the Money Service Operators (MSO) are also regulated by the TDO, enrolment of the seminar from the MSO is encouraged. For detail, please refer to the Notice embedded in the Latest News of our Departmental Homepage.
