Synopsis

This book will describe the development of European Community consumer law and seek to determine to what extent action by the European Community has promoted the interest of consumer protection. In doing so it will consider important areas relating to protection of the consumers economic interests and physical safety, as well as questions of access to justice. In addition to assessing the success of community consumer policy the authors will also put forward suggestions for ways in which consumer protection can be enhanced at the community level.

About this title

Product Description:

This collabarative work examines both the growth of EC law and the the development of special rules to protect consumers. The authors suggest that the EC should adopt a more radical approach to consumer protection and so that the benefits of the laws are not restricted to a few active internal market consumers. At a crucial time in the evolution of EC consumer law the authors offer analysis of both past and present trends and future directions for consumer protection legislation.

Review:

'...timely...admirable work...' Maastricht Journal '...the interplay between private and public law...provides an interesting and informative debate...the book will clearly be of interest to consumer lawyers and students wishing to study, in detail, the impact of EC law.' European Public Law
