The Consumer Court that the government of Nepal is creating is a positive step towards a safe and fair business environment, which is crucial, not only for the safeguard of consumer rights, but also for a vibrant economy. Due to the very high (% of income) transaction costs for any consumer to bring a suit against a business, there has to be proactive government inspections for this program to succeed. I am sure that it will be a learning experience and many kinks will be ironed out as they come up.
All in all, I think it was high time Nepal had a system in place to protect the consumers. Let's just hope the body stays independent and doesn't get bought out by special interests!
शुभकामना!
