DFDL Cambodia Hosts Workshop on New Consumer Protection and E-Commerce Laws
On 16 December 2019, DFDL Cambodia organized a workshop on the New Consumer Protection and E-Commerce Laws at Raffles Hotel Le Royal in Phnom Penh.
The event opened with a presentation of the new Consumer Protection Law by Vansok Khem (DFDL Cambodia Partner). She started by giving a general overview of this new law. Vansok went on to explain about consumer rights and prohibited activities. Her presentation concluded with advice on dispute resolution and included case study analysis.
This was followed by a presentation on the new E-Commerce Law by Nearirath Sreng (DFDL Cambodia Senior Consultant, Banking & Finance Practice Group). She gave an overview of E-Commerce activities throughout the ASEAN region. Nearirath then explained the regulatory framework in Cambodia, as well as the E-commerce framework. Following this, she presented the key obligations under the new e-commerce law and how they will affect online commerce in Cambodia. These included licensing requirements, consumer protection measures, privacy protection and intellectual property protections.
The event concluded with a lively and engaging panel discussion and interactive Q&A session moderated by Chris Robinson (DFDL Cambodia Partner).
DFDL was pleased to receive positive comments from the 126 guests in attendance who learned a great deal about these two new laws. They had the chance to hear about the key changes and new developments heralded by the new legislation, how it stands to affect businesses operating in Cambodia and important compliance requirements that enterprises have to take into consideration when conducting their commercial activities and dealing with customers.
