Based on the earlier "Consumer Law: Text, Cases and Materials" by
David Oughton, this work seeks to explain the general principles
which underlie consumer protection law and the many ways in which
those principles are applied. It provides students of consumer law
with an up-to-date and readable text on the subject. Topics of
central importance are those of consumer redress, product quality,
product safety (including food safety), consumer services law (with
particular reference to repair services), holidays, consumer
insurance and consumer finance.;There is also a discussion of the
various methods by which advertising, sales promotion practices and
misleading claims are regulated. Where appropriate, domestic law is
related to the general principles and policies of European
Community law which have increasingly come to recognise the
consumer interest. In this respect, account has been taken of the
effect of the Treaty of Amsterdam which, amongst other things, has
renumbered many of the familiar provisions of the Treaty of Rome.
The book also considers the relevant merits and disadvantages of
business self-regulation under both trade association codes of
practice and the growing number of statutory codes of practice
introduced to reduce the burdens on business created by legislative
intervention.;This edition takes account of a number of judicial
decisions in the appellate courts and below, and also takes account
of the provisions of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act
1999, the Access to Justice Act 1999, the Civil Procedure Rules
1998, the Food Standards Act 1999, the Human Rights Act 1998, the
Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 and the EC
Directive on Consumer Sales and Associated Guarantees 1999.
