These Regulations give cancellation rights in respect of a contract for goods or services made during a visit by a trader to a consumer's home or place of work or on an excursion organised by the trader. They revoke the Cancellation of Contracts Concluded away from Business Premises Regulations 1987 and re-implement Council Directive 85/577/EEC (“the Directive”) to protect the consumer in respect of contracts negotiated away from business premises. The Directive provides cancellation rights for contracts made in similar circumstances during an unsolicited visit by a trader.
