The book offers an in-depth analysis of consumer sales law across various jurisdictions, focusing on the E.C. Directive's implementation and its global implications, particularly in Comparative Consumer Sales Law.
In Comparative Consumer Sales Law, the author meticulously examines the implementation of the E.C. Directive on Certain Aspects of the Sale of Consumer Goods and Associated Guarantees across three Member States. This analysis not only highlights the specific measures taken by these nations but also explores the broader impact of the Directive on other Member States, including those newly integrated from Central and Eastern Europe. The book serves as a crucial resource for understanding how consumer protection laws vary and evolve within the European Union.
The book delves into the global landscape of consumer sales law, detailing how legislators worldwide have crafted specific regulations to address the unique needs of consumers. A significant development in this area was the adoption of the Consumer Sales Directive (99/44/EC) within the European Union, which has set a precedent for similar legislation in other countries, such as New Zealand and Australia. Through this comparative lens, Comparative Consumer Sales Law provides a comprehensive overview of consumer sales laws in various jurisdictions.
Additionally, the text presents two case scenarios that illustrate the practical application of these legal frameworks. By comparing these case studies, readers gain a clearer understanding of the differences and similarities in consumer sales law across different regions. This book is an essential guide for legal professionals, scholars, and anyone interested in the dynamics of consumer rights and protections in an increasingly interconnected world.
'The rise of consumption and the digital revolution give the authors of this book the opportunity to address fascinating topics on consumer sales, access to justice and enforcement of consumer law through a comparative study of different jurisdictions in Europe, America, Asia and Oceania: A trip around the world through a case-oriented approach for readers who wish to know whether the existing European and national rules are suited for either consumer sales or specific consumer goods, especially in the era of the Internet of Things.' Esther Arroyo Amayuelas, University of Barcelona, Spain
'An intriguing, up-to-date, reliable and succinct comparison of consumer sales law – providing quality standards and remedies – across the EU, especially in Germany and the UK, as well as five Asia-Pacific developed and developing economies. Country reports on two hypothetical scenarios, involving faulty cars and apps, uncover considerable convergence in the substantive "law in books", but significant divergence in "law in action" – access to justice and enforcement.' Luke Nottage, University of Sydney, Australia
'This collection is a wonderful addition to the literature on consumer sales. It provides detailed information on legal systems from around the world, including systems in Europe, Asia and Australia. The juxtaposition of two types of cases – one classical sales problem, another focusing on digital content – highlights issues that are at the heart of consumers sales law, and that will be of relevance to the further development of the field.' Vanessa Mak, Tilburg University, The Netherlands
