Introductory text

The Secretary of State makes this Order in exercise of the powers conferred by section 96(1) and (2) of, and paragraph 12(1)(a) and (b) of Schedule 5 to, the Consumer Rights Act 2015^f1 (“the Act”).

In accordance with paragraph 12(2) of Schedule 5 to the Act, the Secretary of State thinks that on and after the changes made by the Schedule to this Order (where a power of entry in legislation other than the Act is replaced by a power of entry in the Act), the condition in paragraph 12(3) of Schedule 5, that the safeguards applicable to the new power of entry, taken together, provide a greater level of protection than any safeguards applicable to the old power of entry, is met.
