Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reflects the research output of the Committee on the International Protection of Consumers of the International Law Association (ILA). The Committee was created in 2008, with a mandate to study the role of public and private law to protect consumers, review UN Guidelines, and to model laws, international treaties and national legislations concerning protection and consumer redress. It has been accepted to act as an observer not only when the UNCTAD was updating its guidelines, but also at the Hague Conference on Private International Law. The book includes the contributions of various Committee members in the past few years and is a result of the cooperation between the Committee members and experts from Australia, Brazil, Canada and China. It is divided into three parts: the first part addresses trends and challenges in international protection of consumers, while the second part focuses on financial crises and consumer protection and the third part examines national and regional consumer law issues.
Book Synopsis Consumer Theories of Harm by : Paolo Siciliani
Download or read book Consumer Theories of Harm written by Paolo Siciliani and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-09-19 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has long been thought that fairness in European Consumer Law would be achieved by relying on information as a remedy and expecting the average consumer to keep businesses in check by voting with their feet. This monograph argues that the way consumer law operates today promises a lot but does not deliver enough. It struggles to avoid harm being caused to consumers and it struggles to repair the harm after the event. To achieve fairness, solutions need to be found elsewhere. Consumer Theories of Harm offers an alternative model to assess where and how consumer detriment may occur and solutions to prevent it. It shows that a more confident use of economic theory will allow practitioners to demonstrate how a poor standard of professional diligence lies at the heart of consumer harm. The book provides both theoretical and practical examples of how to combine existing law with economic theory to improve case outcomes. The book shows how public enforcers can move beyond the dominant transparency paradigm to an approach where firms have a positive duty to treat consumers fairly and shape their commercial offers in a way that prevents consumers from making mistakes. Over time, this 'fairness-by-design' approach will emerge as the only acceptable way to compete.

Book Synopsis Vulnerable Consumers and the Law by : Christine Riefa
Download or read book Vulnerable Consumers and the Law written by Christine Riefa and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-27 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book charts the difficulties encountered by vulnerable consumers in their access to justice, through the contributions of prominent authors (academic, practitioners and consultants) in the field of consumer law and access to justice. It demonstrates that despite the development of ADR, access to justice is still severely lacking for the vulnerable consumer. The book highlights that a broad understanding of access to justice, which encompasses good regulation and its public enforcement, is an essential ingredient alongside access to the mechanisms of traditional private justice (courts and ADR) to protect the vulnerable consumer. Indeed, many of the difficulties are linked to normative obstacles and lack of access to justice is primarily a vulnerability in itself that can exacerbate existing ones. In addition, because it may contribute to ‘pushing’ already vulnerable consumers into social exclusion it is not simply about economic justice but also about social justice. The book shows that lack of access to justice is not irreversible nor is it necessarily linked to consumer apathy. New technologies could provide solutions. The book concludes with a plea for developing ‘inclusive’ justice systems with more emphasis on public enforcement alongside effective courts systems to offer the vulnerable with adequate means to defend themselves. This book will be suitable for both students and practitioners, and all those with an interest in the justice system.
Book Synopsis Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act by : Wolters Kluwer Editorial Staff
Download or read book Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act written by Wolters Kluwer Editorial Staff and published by Cch. This book was released on 2018-07-25 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On May 24, 2018, President Donald J. Trump signed into law the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (P.L. 115-174), an act intended to ease many of the post-recession restrictions that were imposed on the financial services industry by the Dodd-Frank Act. The law is intended principally to assist community banks, but significant provisions will change which bank holding companies are subject to enhanced prudential standards, benefiting larger banks. The legislation also contains provisions dealing with algorithmic trading in securities markets, the financial exploitation of seniors, cybersecurity, and hedge fund names. Although the effort for a major overhaul of the Dodd-Frank Act sought by Congressional Republicans fell short, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act contains significant regulatory changes. Further rollbacks of Dodd-Frank are now left to regulators in implementing the changes or for future lawmaking by Congress. The Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act: Law, Explanation and Analysis provides a thorough analysis of these provisions and immediate insight into the impact of the new law. Written by the banking and securities law experts at Wolters Kluwer, the publication analyzes all sections of the Act, explaining the changes, the historical context, the congressional intent and the practical impact, and includes citations to new and amended law sections. The publication also features the full text of the legislation and relevant committee reports, a table of statutes amended, and an extensive topical index covering the subject matter of the legislation.

Book Synopsis Consumer Protection in the Age of the 'Information Economy' by : Jane K. Winn
Download or read book Consumer Protection in the Age of the 'Information Economy' written by Jane K. Winn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To date, there have been few theoretical inquiries into the relationship between the technological innovation and basic objectives of consumer protection laws. This book addresses this need by considering the impact of technological innovation on the foundations of consumer advocacy, contracting behaviour, control over intellectual capital and information privacy. The collection presents a unique and timely perspective on these issues. The authors, internationally renowned experts, from diverse areas such as consumer issues in technology markets, contract, and intellectual property provide a fresh perspective on these topics. Contributions provide novel approaches to the question of what consumer protection might consist of in the context of technological innovation. The book will be a valuable resource to academics and researchers in law and public policy and is easily accessible to graduate and undergraduate students working in these areas.
Book Synopsis International Perspectives on Consumers' Access to Justice by : Charles E. F. Rickett
Download or read book International Perspectives on Consumers' Access to Justice written by Charles E. F. Rickett and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-03-20 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consumer protection law in the age of globalisation poses new challenges for policy-makers. This book highlights the difficulties of framing regulatory responses to the problem of consumers' access to justice in the new international economy. The growth of international consumer transactions in the wake of technological change and the globalisation of markets suggests that governments can no longer develop consumer protection law in isolation from the international legal arena. Leading scholars consider the broader theme of access to justice from socio-legal, law and economics perspectives. Topics include standard form contracts, the legal challenges posed by mass infections (such as mad-cow disease and CJD), ombudsman schemes, class actions, alternative dispute resolution, consumer bankruptcy, conflict of laws, and cross-border transactions. This book demonstrates that advancing and achieving access to justice for consumers proves to be a challenging, and sometimes elusive, task.
Book Synopsis Discrimination, Vulnerable Consumers and Financial Inclusion by : Cătălin-Gabriel Stănescu
Download or read book Discrimination, Vulnerable Consumers and Financial Inclusion written by Cătălin-Gabriel Stănescu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-28 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the questions of discrimination, vulnerable consumers, and financial inclusion in the light of the emerging legal, socioeconomic, and technological challenges. New technologies – such as artificial intelligence-driven consumer credit risk assessment and Fintech platforms, the changing nature of vulnerability due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the sophistication of digital technologies, which help circumvent legal barriers and protections – necessitate the continuous study of the existing legal frameworks and measures that are capable of tackling these challenges. Organized in two major parts, the first addresses, from multiple national angles, the idea of a human rights approach to consumer law, in order to replace the mantra of economic efficiency that characterizes financial services with those of human dignity and freedom from discrimination and from debt-induced servitude. The second tackles the challenges posed by increased usage of technology in connection with financial services, which tends to solve, but also creates, additional issues for consumers in general, and for vulnerable groups in particular.
Book Synopsis Everyday Law for Consumers by : Michael L. Rustad

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Your toolkit for prevention, redemption, and occasionally retribution." -Ralph Nader Whenever you purchase goods or services in a personal, household, or family capacity, you are entitled to the rights and remedies of state and federal consumer law. Realistically, only a very small percentage of consumer problems can be addressed by hiring a private attorney. Everyday Law for Consumers teaches practical self-help remedies that ordinary Americans can use to protect their consumer rights. Michael L. Rustad, a nationally known practicing attorney and legal scholar, translates into plain English the legalese that forms the basis for many common transactions, including consumer loans, credit repair, credit, consumer leases, usury, interest rates, Internet transactions, identity theft, distance contracts, home shopping, television advertisements, door-to-door sales, and telephone solicitations. Using real-life examples, sample complaint letters, and an appendix of further examples, this easy-to-read book empowers everyday people to become effective self-advocates in an increasingly consumer-driven society.

Book Synopsis Consumer Law in the Information Society by : Thomas Wilhelmsson
Download or read book Consumer Law in the Information Society written by Thomas Wilhelmsson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2000-12-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work looks at the consequences of the development of information technology and the information society for consumers and for consumer law. While the new technological environment has been greeted with enthusiasm by many, citing the improvement in consumer choice, convenience, and the accessibility of information, there have also been calls to focus on the needs of those consumers who cannot easily gain access to the benefits associated with the new technology. This collection of expert papers examines developments in consumer protection legislation around the world in response to the technological advances, and focuses on issues such as electronic marketing, electronic commerce, financial services, product liability, intellectual property and rights of access to information. Issues such as how and to what extent the new environment should be regulated, as well as the impact of changes in the globalized information market, are also discussed. This volume arose from the 7th International Consumer Law Conference, held in Helsinki in 1999 under the auspices of the International Association for Consumer Law.
