Synopsis

This guide to contract law as it affects consumers and their safety, provides practical advice on dealing with consumer problems and coverage of both the consumer's and supplier's points of view. The book takes the practitioner logically through the problems arising from the sale of goods and services and includes chapters covering common problems in tort and in contract and litigation procedure. Full coverage is also provided of consumer credit with an examination of the common problems and related litigation issues. This edition considers the impact of the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulation 1994 and the implications of the Sale and Supply of Goods Act 1994, as well as examining recent case law.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This fourth edition of Practice Notes on Consumer Law contains much useful information for those dealing with problems in consumer law, from either the consumer or supplier perspective. These notes include guidance on common problems, checklists, specimen letters and precedents to help you through the common problems in this area of law, which has recently changed so rapidly.

Consumer Law covers contract, tort, consumer credit, and consumer safety. Each of these areas has seen huge changes in the ways business is done, largely as a result of changing technology, enabling people to buy goods and services in new ways, including via the internet. That technology can, in itself, be the cause of difficulties, where it goes wrong, or where suppliers have inadequate systems to deal with customer. Both suppliers and consumers need advice on how to deal with the problems that arise.

This fourth edition has, therefore, been updated to include:

• developments such as the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999, and the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
• changes in consumer safety law, particularly the regulations concerning general product safety
• changes in civil procedure as a result of the Woolf Reforms - the book includes procedural notes relating to litigation
• the influence of the European Union, particularly consumer protection for distance selling contracts.
