But under the EU Unfair Commercial Practices Directive the onus is now on the person providing the service to prove that they did not intentionally mislead their customers.
​
The easiest way around the problem would be for the church not to charge for it's services. Then the people going to the church wouldn't be customers anymore.
​
But it raises an interesting question about the promises made by governments.

How long would the RC Church last?
​
About as long as government. Unfortunately.

Re: Church Charges?
What church do you go to? I've been in churches for 62 years all over the nation and have never seen or heard of one which leveled a charge for membership or attendance of worship services or worship day classes.
​
It was intended to be tongue-in-cheek Buzz. A response in kind to the manner in which Brain posed his OP (I'm sure)

Then we will see how the courts deal with it.

I'd pay good money for a video of the polices response to your 999 call. That's about the only court appearence I'd be envisaging.

M'lud?
Who do you call when you witness someone breaking the law
​
You mean this law? The one in your OP seems to suppose that the misleading has already been established and the issue has to do with the established misleader proving his misleading wasn't intentional.

Imagine I'm the policeman you've called to the scene. Your holding the coin collecting perp by collar awaiting my arrival. You quote the law and say to me....
​
What precisely?
