No. 46 of 2012 [Rev. 2016] Consumer Protection (b) to a ministry, department or agency of a government engaged in the administration of legislation that protects consumers or to any other entity to which the administration of legislation that protects consumers has been assigned; (၁) to a prescribed entity or organization, if the purpose of the communication is consumer protection; (d) to a law enforcement agency; (e) to his, her or its counsel; or (f) with the consent of the person to whom the information relates.

(2) If a supplier is required to deliver information to a consumer under this Act, the information must, in addition to satisfying the requirements in subsection (1), be delivered in a form in which it can be understood by the consumer. 88. Limitation of arbitration (1) Any term or acknowledgment in a consumer agreement or a related agreement that requires or has the effect of requiring that disputes arising out of the consumer agreement be submitted to arbitration is invalid insofar as it prevents a consumer from exercising a right to commence an action in the High Court given under this Act. (2) Despite subsection (1), after a dispute over which a consumer may commence an action in the High Court arises, the consumer, the supplier and any other person involved in the dispute may agree to resolve the dispute using any procedure that is available in law. (3) A settlement or decision that results from the procedure agreed to under subsection (2) is as binding on the parties as such a settlement or decision would be if it were reached in respect of a dispute concerning an agreement to which this Act does not apply.
