Overview
This book seeks to introduce the reader to the substantive law of consumer protection in the United Kingdom, with the emphasis being on the place of United Kingdom law within an evolving European legal system and also on the need to draw upon comparative experience. The book seeks to place consumer protection not only in its purely black-letter context but also to draw upon wider readings to show that consumer protection law is a complex area of law which reflects and shapes the individual citizen's position within the modern economy.Synopsis
This volume is one of a series addressing the interaction between the law and the market. Howells (U. of Lancaster) and Weatherill (U. of Oxford) cover EU consumer policy, product and service liability, consumer credit, advertising, unfair commercial practices and related topics. The second edition omits chapters on food law and title and risk and incorporates the discussion of private law and consumer protection into the chapter covering quality of goods and services. New cases and recent changes in legislation are also reflected in the revisions. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
