Hire Purchase Disputes Get New Court Flexibility | Guyana News

A major legal shift just hit hire purchase disputes: consumers and businesses can now take cases to either the High Court or Magistrates’ Court, regardless of claim value—ending confusing jurisdiction rules that once slowed justice. This move, backed by Minister Susan Rodrigues, aims to boost access to fair, efficient resolution for everyone involved, building on 2022’s Hire Purchase Act that already strengthened consumer protections. With ownership transferring only after final payments, this new law ensures disputes don’t get bogged down in legal red tape.
