| The industrial and economic developments in modern era have led to a gap in the relationship between individuals who are driven by the need for goods and services to The industrial and economic developments in modern era have led to a gap in the relationship between individuals who are driven by the need for goods and services to contract with actors whose profession is selling these goods and performance of services, thus the contractual relationship that binds the two parties seemed to be unequal, hence the need to protect the consumer became urgent. Although the buyer (consumer) was protected by the legislator in Civil Law by the rules of guarantees and the judge's power to amend the contract for the benefit of the weaker party in some cases, this protection remained inadequate and insufficient, and here began the interest to the consumer and the need to protect him; an idea that's adopted by the Algeria and Iraqi legislators in the consecration of legal protection for the consumer and the intervention of the legislature in establishing special protection laws, especially the criminal ones, which are embodied in the recent amendments. The Algerian and Iraqi Lawmakers outstepped of great strides in the field of consumer protection, especially in light of the current circumstances, and therefore have made a quantum leap because the content of this legislation is the most that could be achieved at the moment including maintenance of health, safety, and benefit from fair treatment when obtaining and using goods and services, as well as the right to litigation in order to safeguard these rights. | ||
