This draft law stipulates that the seller, in case of failure to deliver the goods to the consumer within the time limits specified in the contract, pays a penalty for the unfulfilled part of the obligation. At the same time, it is determined that the amount of the penalty should not exceed the price of the undelivered goods, and the payment of the penalty does not exempt the seller, who violated contractual obligations, from compensation for damage caused by late delivery of goods or non-delivery of goods.

In addition, it is stipulated that if the seller proves that the delay in the delivery of goods to the consumer was the fault of the consumer, he is exempt from paying penalties.

It was noted that during the preparation of the draft law for the second reading, the responsible committee held a number of meetings and seminars, at which all the proposals of the deputies were analyzed in detail. It was emphasized that the most reasonable proposals were reflected in the text of the document, the draft was finalized and improved.

According to the deputies, the adoption of the bill will serve to protect the legitimate interests of consumers and prevent cases when the seller does not comply with the terms of the contract of sale, in particular, in terms of improper or late delivery of goods.

The bill was adopted in the second reading.
