Disposición sobre pesas y medidas

Abstract

The image contains a news item about the provision on weights and measures issued by the District Mayor that aims to address fraud committed by sellers in the public market, who use misleading weights and measures when selling their products. This is because these acts have reached a level that is excessively harmful to consumers, which has led several citizens to file claims to remedy these abuses. In this context, it is established that all people who sell products in the market place must use the weights and measures designated by law, which will be determined by the respective market judge. It is ordered that while the right of storage is established and regulated by the Municipal Corporation, any buyer who detects fraud when purchasing a product has the right to report it to the Mayor's Office or the corresponding Judge.
