    Explanation of point 5:- As time changes spending power of consumers increases which also causes an increase in the number of complaints consumers made to the forums. But Consumer Forums doesn't have the power to make legal decisions related to higher compensation. Therefore, cases forwarded to the courts lead to a situation of higher pending cases with courts. Explanation of point 6:- The Old Act of 1986, didn't give powers to the Forums to take a temporary decision on their own (to protect consumers' interest) until official decisions could not be made. Crux: 5. Forums can't take legal decisions related to higher monetary loss. 6. Forums are not granted to make an interim solution/decision to protect consumers from any harm till cases are pending with higher authorities.
