Abstract

The Omani legislator issued many laws concerning consumer protection, similar to 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 is to indicate the extent to which the Omani legislator is responsible for the development of a legal system to protect consumers. The research aims to indicate the extent posed about the effectiveness of the legal mechanisms enshrined by the Omani legislation in consumer protection, and the research aims to show the extent to which the Omani legislator ensures the development of a legal system for consumer protection.
