Enforcing Consumer and Capital Markets Law: The Diesel Emissions
Scandal is an international and intradisciplinary work. On the
example of one topical and global collective damage event with far
reaching consequences for both consumers and investors, this work
critically analyses the various approaches of public and private
law enforcement and their effectiveness across several
jurisdictions, namely those of Austria, Denmark, France, Germany,
England and Wales, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Portugal,
Australia, Brazil, China and the United States of America. Based on
decided and pending cases, the book demonstrates to what extent
public authorities, but also private claimants, can take effective
steps against the violation of their rights in their respective
jurisdictions. The following is examined: law enforcement by public
institutions, law enforcement by private parties and overlaps as
well as hybrids and connections between both areas. A particular
focus is given to collective redress, that is representative
actions and model case proceedings. Comments from renowned
practitioners sharing their experiences are included throughout the
book. Separate concluding comparative chapters have two different
aims: A comparative analysis of the legal solutions with a
supranational European Union level focus provides invaluable
insights into best practices and effectiveness. In addition, an
intradisciplinary comparison assesses and evaluates the
effectiveness of consumer law vs capital markets law mechanisms.
Furthermore mechanisms of competition law and company law are taken
into account. With contributions by Willem H. van Boom (University
