The Sunday Times had two interesting pieces on consumer law issues. One was about problems with using the APR to determine which of two mortgages is cheaper: because the APR omits some credit costs and assumes that the borrower will not pay off the mortgage early, it can be misleading. The other--the Haggler column by David Segal--is about how a business used the threat of a criminal prosecution for libel when a dissatisfied consumer posted a critical review on the web.
