Division 1 — Deceptive Acts or Practices
Deceptive acts or practices
4 (1) In this Division:
"deceptive act or practice" means, in relation to a consumer transaction,
(a) an oral, written, visual, descriptive or other representation by a supplier, or
(b) any conduct by a supplier
that has the capability, tendency or effect of deceiving or misleading a consumer or guarantor;
"representation" includes any term or form of a contract, notice or other document used or relied on by a supplier in connection with a consumer transaction.
2) A deceptive act or practice by a supplier may occur before, during or after the consumer transaction.
(3) Without limiting subsection (1), one or more of the following constitutes a deceptive act or practice:
(a) a representation by a supplier that goods or services
(i) have sponsorship, approval, performance characteristics, accessories, ingredients, quantities, components, uses or benefits that they do not have,
(ii) are of a particular standard, quality, grade, style or model if they are not,
(iii) have a particular prior history or usage that they do not have, including a representation that they are new if they are not,
(iv) are available for a reason that differs from the fact,
(v) are available if they are not available as represented,
(vi) were available in accordance with a previous representation if they were not,
(vii) are available in quantities greater than is the fact, or
(viii) will be supplied within a stated period if the supplier knows or ought to know that they will not;
(b) a representation by a supplier
(i) that the supplier has a sponsorship, approval, status, affiliation or connection that the supplier does not have,
(ii) that a service, part, replacement or repair is needed if it is not,
(iii) that the purpose or intent of a solicitation of, or a communication with, a consumer by a supplier is for a purpose or intent that differs from the fact,
(iv) that a consumer transaction involves or does not involve rights, remedies or obligations that differs from the fact,
(v) about the authority of a representative, employee or agent to negotiate the final terms of a consumer transaction if the representation differs from the fact,
(vi) that uses exaggeration, innuendo or ambiguity about a material fact or that fails to state a material fact, if the effect is misleading,
(vii) that a consumer will obtain a benefit for helping the supplier to find other potential customers if it is unlikely that the consumer will obtain the benefit,
(viii) that appears in an objective form such as an editorial, documentary or scientific report if the representation is primarily made to sell goods or services, unless the representation states that it is an advertisement or promotion, or
(ix) to arrange for the consumer an extension of credit for a fee, unless the fee is deducted from the advance, as defined in section 57 [definitions];
(c) a representation by a supplier about the total price of goods or services if
(i) a person could reasonably conclude that a price benefit or advantage exists but it does not,
(ii) the price of a unit or installment is given in the representation, and the total price of the goods or services is not given at least the same prominence(突出), or
(iii) the supplier's estimate of the price is materially less than the price subsequently determined or demanded by the supplier unless the consumer has expressly consented to the higher price before the goods or services are supplied;
(d) a prescribed act or practice.
Prohibition and burden of proof
5 (1) A supplier must not commit or engage in a deceptive act or practice in respect of a consumer transaction.
(2) If it is alleged that a supplier committed or engaged in a deceptive act or practice, the burden of proof that the deceptive act or practice was not committed or engaged in is on the supplier.
1)Small Claims Court, with a claims limit of up to $25,000, (limit varies by province)
2)Getting a judgement is fairly easy. Collecting is an entirely different story.
如何准備:
YOUR HOMEWORK INVOLVES: In order to successfully sue in Small Claims Court in your province, you must do your homework. You need to look at the rules concerning procedures for filing claims, defences, and counterclaims. You must meet the stipulated time limits, obey the rules for service and proof of service of documents. You will need to know a little about default judgements and proceedings. Usually there will be a pre-trial conference which may lead to an offer to settle. A rejected offer to settle will have cost consequences at trial.
You need to have all your evidence available at trial. Read up on trial procedures (watch Judge Judy for tips). You will also need some understanding of what costs you can ask for, the reimbursement of costs, and the enforcement of judgments and orders.
Small claims trials are adversarial in nature which means that there will be a winner and a loser. Judges usually permit very informal procedures and take an active role in questioning the parties to get to the facts. Judgments are awarded on the balance of probabilities.
看,就是贏了也拿不到錢: If I win my case, am I guaranteed to get my money?
Unfortunately, no. The court can give you tools you can use to collect your money - such as a payment hearing or a garnishing order. In the most extreme cases, when someone deliberately ignores a court order, a judge can send a debtor to jail. But some people will not pay and some cannot.
我早遇到過好幾個老油條了
It is frustrating to spend time and money to prove a claim in court and then still be unable to collect what is owing to you. If you are thinking about making a claim in small claims court - or in any court, for that matter - you should first consider what your chances are of collecting, if you should win.
所以,剛才我提及的,欠你錢的公司的銀行帳號信息,你拿到手很要緊
幫你查了查,時效問題.中國,我知道是二年.但這兩年是可以更新的,即,你有證據證明你一直在問他追討最後那一日起的二年.這裡,只找到這個:
If a notice of claim has not been served within 12 months after it was filed it expires, but the claimant may apply to have it renewed (see Rule 16 (3)).
