Research Handbook on EU Consumer and Contract Law takes stock of the evolution of this area of private law to date and identifies key themes for future development of the law and research agendas. This major handbook brings together contributions by leading academics from across the EU on the latest developments and controversies in these important areas of law.
The book is divided into three distinct and thematic parts:
- authors examine a range of cross-cutting issues relevant to both consumer and contract law.
- discussion of specific topics on EU consumer law, including the consumer image within EU law, information duties and unfair contract terms.
- the final part focuses on a number of important subjects which remain current in the development of EU contract law and presents a number of innovative solutions to the challenges presented in parts one and two.
