Consumer Law

Covering the main principles of law which directly affect the consumer, this new textbook provides a clear exposition of the law alongside a critical analysis of existing law and proposals for reform.

Explaining the practical influences under which the law has been formed, it encourages students to understand why the law has developed in the way that it has and gives a large number of examples of how the law works in practice.

• aspects of contract law, unfair contracts and sale of goods
• criminal and civil liability for goods and services
• remedies and consumer credit
• food, advertising and promotions
• title to goods and passing of property
• definitions and critical analysis of a 'consumer' and 'consumer protection'
• a European perspective on consumer law.
