Solution
This statement is false.
Explanation:
It is not true that moving to consumer courts is worthwhile only if the incurred damages are severe. Consumer courts exist to provide speedy, simple, and inexpensive redressal for consumer grievances regardless of the value of the damage. The Consumer Protection Act allows consumers to represent themselves without hiring a lawyer, making it accessible for all cases. Thus, consumers can seek justice even for minor damages, not only high-value ones.
