ECLI:MT:CIVP:2019:114955
Approaching a consumer with a product to invest in, knowing that the consumer does not understand the investment and without explaining the risks attached to investing in such a product, amounts to a misleading action and a misleading omission on the part of the trader. Such behaviour shows that the trader engaged in an unfair commercial practice. Given that a number of consumers were wronged in the same manner by the same trader, the Court allowed the plaintiff in this judgement to bring a collective action on behalf of the consumers.
Relevance: Outlines how certain commercial practices on the part of a trader can be unfair and to the detriment of consumers.
