Question 1
Under section 14 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2002, when does making a false, misleading or deceptive representation become an unfair practice?
Correct answer: C
Subsection 14(1) of the Consumer Protection Act states that it is an unfair practice for a person to make a false, misleading or deceptive representation, full stop. Section 17(2) reinforces this by deeming a single act under section 14, 15 or 16 to be engaging in an unfair practice, so neither reliance nor proven loss is required to establish the practice.

Question 2
Under section 18 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2002, how long does a consumer have, after entering an agreement preceded or accompanied by an unfair practice, to give notice that they want to rescind the agreement?
Correct answer: C
Subsection 18(3) requires the consumer to give notice within one year after entering into the agreement when seeking rescission for an unfair practice. The shorter windows in motor vehicle sales (such as the 90-day window under section 50 of O. Reg. 333/08) are different statutory remedies and do not override the one-year period in the Consumer Protection Act.

Question 3
A customer financed a $30,000 vehicle through a future performance agreement, has paid roughly 70 per cent of the total payment obligation, and has just missed a payment. The agreement contains a repossession-on-default clause. Under section 25 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2002, what does the supplier need before it can enforce the repossession clause?
Correct answer: D
Subsection 25(1) makes any repossession or resale clause unenforceable, once the consumer has paid two-thirds or more of the payment obligation, except by leave obtained from the Superior Court of Justice. The two-thirds threshold flips the default: the supplier must go to court rather than self-help.

Question 4
Where a repairer has given the consumer an estimate, by what maximum percentage may the final charge exceed that estimate under section 58(2) of the Consumer Protection Act, 2002?
Correct answer: B
Subsection 58(2) prohibits a repairer from charging an amount that exceeds the estimate by more than 10 per cent for the work or repairs that were estimated. Anything above that threshold is not chargeable to the consumer, regardless of cost overruns the repairer encountered.

Question 5
Select all that apply
Which of the following statements about the deemed warranty on vehicle repairs under section 63 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2002 are correct? Select all that apply.
Correct: A, B, C
Subsection 63(1) deems every repairer to warrant new or reconditioned parts and the labour to install them for a minimum of 90 days or 5,000 kilometres, whichever comes first. Subsection 63(5) removes the warranty where the consumer has subjected a part to misuse or abuse, so the warranty is not unconditional.
