Butterworths Trading and Consumer Law covers not only trade descriptions but also fair trading, prices, advertising and consumer credit and provides a comprehensive treatment of the subject which practitioners will find invaluable. The work is organised to provide a practical treatment of trading standards law and is specifically designed to meet the requirements of those who regularly have to enforce, comply with or advise on consumer protection.

For ease of use each distinct branch of the law has a division to itself, containing all relevant statutes, regulations and European material together with informative practice notes and codes of practice updated to include guidance on internet selling and distance selling.

Subscribers also receive a monthly Consumer Law Bulletin providing topical information on prospective and recent legislation and on the important decisions in the field of trade descriptions and on related subjects. Appendices outlining the relevant provisions of Scottish Law are also included.

The service consists of two looseleaf volumes, and subscribers receive their first year’s updating issues as part of the purchase price (three service issues approx. per year). Subscribers are then charged annually for subsequent updating.
