A Casebook on European Consumer Law

Description

European consumer law has become a vital part of both legal education and practice. This casebook details the most fundamental judgments of the Court of Justice on consumer law to date and their effect on national legal systems. It contains twenty leading European cases and is then followed by concise analyses of the effect of these decisions on some of the national legal systems of the Member States, and how national legislatures and national courts have reacted to this ever burgeoning area of European law. The focus of the book is private law, including consumer contracts, advertisement law, European product liability and consumer dispute resolutions.

Reiner Schulze is Professor at the University of Munster and Director of the Centre for European Privare Law. Hans Schulte-Noelke is Professor of German Civil Law, European Private Law and Legal History at the University of Bielefeld. Jackie Jones is a Senior Lecturer in European Law at the University of the West of England.

...a useful introduction to an area which is having an increasing impact on practice. The extracts are well chosen and there are useful references to national case law and legal literature which will aid those who wish to pursue a particular issue in more depth. -- Cowan Ervine, University of Dundee * Scolag Legal Journal *
