3. **Procedure**: The procedure in consumer courts is less formal compared to regular civil courts, making it easier for consumers to represent themselves without requiring legal representation.

4. **Compensation**: Consumer courts can award compensation to consumers for any losses suffered due to the deficiency in service or for defects in goods purchased.

5. **Time Limit**: Consumer courts are mandated to dispose of cases within specified time limits to ensure quick redressal of consumer grievances.
