Data on Court Applications Filed against Suppliers for Unfair Practices over Past Two Years

Ms Sylvia Lim asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry how many Court applications under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act has the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore filed against suppliers for engaging in unfair practices over the last two years.

From 2024 to 2025, 11 cases of unfair practices by suppliers under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act 2003 were resolved by the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCS) without the need for action by the Court.

In the same period, CCS filed one application for Court orders against two immigration consultancy businesses that had engaged in unfair trade practices under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act 2003.
