others in the region, such as the Civil Transactions Law, the Consumer Protection Law,
and the Competition Protection and Monopoly Prevention Law. The first legislation on
consumer protection was issued on August 28, 2002, and amended by Royal Decree
No. (66\/2014). The Competition Protection and Monopoly Prevention Law No.
(67/2014) was also issued. The executive regulations of the Consumer Protection Law
were issued on March 9, 2017, and the executive regulations of the Competition
Protection and Monopoly Prevention Law on January 25, 2021. The aim of the research

of a legal system to protect consumers. The research aims to indicate the extent posed
