| dc.description.abstract | Judicial protection is a crucial way of protecting citizen’s fundamental rights. Judicial protection has both substantive and procedural aspects to it. First, the recognition of a right to judicial protection in legislation and providing remedies for people whose rights have been violated are the substantive elements of judicial protection. The procedural aspect of judicial protection is concerned with the establishment of pathways and a competent process that enables people to benefit from the remedies available in the existing pathways. Besides, consumer rights are also one aspect of citizens’ fundamental rights in any given country, which requires a robust judicial protection arrangement. The main focus of this study is to analyse the state of consumers’ judicial protection arrangements in the Amhara National Regional State (ANRS), which is one of the regional administrations of Ethiopia. Methodologically, in carrying out qualitative research, the researcher has employed both doctrinal and empirical methods. Subsequently, both primary and secondary data are employed. In doing so, this research has analysed the stipulations in the FDRE constitution; the ANRS revised constitution; the 1960 civil code and other pertinent proclamations, about the consumers’ judicial protection arrangements in the ANRS region. The review of the substantive and procedural aspects of the available consumers’ judicial protection arrangements has exposed several shortcomings in both sides. The substantive aspect of the judicial framework of the region has some limitation in the sense that the right to judicial protection right for consumers is explicitly stated as a right but the existing rules regulating this area are inadequate. The pathways for consumers to get judicial protection in the region are also fraught with competency problems and practical challenges in terms of ensuring fair, cheap and effective access to justice. Based on those findings, the researcher has provided specific recommendations for each responsible organ to resolve these incompetence and practical problems of the available arrangements for consumers in accessing judicial protection through structural changes or transformation measures within the existing framework without making new legislation to this effect. | en_US |
