Comparative Consumer Sales Law

Reviews / Votes

'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
