Article No. (11) of Law No. (8) of 2008 regarding consumer protection stipulates that companies are prohibited from failing to deliver goods or services as agreed upon in the contract. Any violation of this law is subject to fines and other penalties.

And that’s why the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) in Qatar issues some fines after monitoring businesses for protection laws.

A Qatari car dealership has been slapped with 36 fines for non-compliance with consumer protection laws

The company has not been named, but it is known to be one of the biggest car dealerships in the country

The fines were issued due to the dealership’s failure to adhere to contracts signed with consumers for the delivery of cars.

The MoCI has been monitoring various communication channels for complaints from consumers who said some car dealerships failed to adhere to contracts by delaying the delivery of purchased or reserved cars, despite the transactions being made.

The MoCI has urged all citizens and residents to report any violations or abuses via the call centre (16001) and the MoCI accounts on social media.
