fair trading?

Question

Hi
what is the occupation called if you work for "Fair Trading"
which controls unfair charges for example with BA overcharging for flights.
what qualifications would you need for the job? Law ?

Answer 1

This sounds like an enforcement function. Most countries have their version of the Fair Trading Act. It's something that consumer rights associations are passionate about. To enforce the Act, yes, I'd imagine a Law degree will be appropriate, but I think any related discipline which had a law module will do, for e.g. degree in commerce, accounts or business administration.
