About the Book

The Research Handbook on EU Consumer and Contract Law takes stock of the evolution of this fascinating area of private law to date and identifies key themes for the future development of the law and research agendas. This major Handbook brings together contributions by leading academics from across the EU on the latest developments and controversies in these important areas of law. The Handbook is divided into three distinct and thematic parts: firstly, authors examine a range of cross-cutting issues relevant to both consumer and contract law. The second part discusses specific topics on EU consumer law, including the consumer image within EU law, information duties and unfair contract terms. The final part focuses on a number of important subjects which remain current in the development of EU contract law and presents a number of innovative solutions to the challenges presented in parts one and two. This timely and insightful Handbook will provide both a comprehensive survey of this area of law for the novice researcher and fresh food-for-thought for scholars who have been researching this area of law for many years. Contributors include: E.A. Amayuelas, H. Beale, J.M. Bech Serrat, C. Busch, R. Canavan, P. Cartwright, O.O. Cherednychenko, G. Comparato, G. Cordero-Moss, A. Cygan, L. Gillies, M. Graziadei, M.W. Hesselink, G. Howells, C. Mak, V. Mak, H.-W. Micklitz, B. Pozzo, P. Rott, J. Rutgers, J.M. Smits, Y. Svetiev, E.T.T. Tai, C. Twigg-Flesner, W.H. van Boom, J. Watson, F. Zoll

Review :
'Professor Twigg-Flesner has assembled a talented and multinational team of scholars to work on this project and they have delivered a terrific book. It is comprehensive and ambitious, sensitive to the context in which the EU's involvement in consumer and contact law has developed over time, and moreover the book is not only a state of the art description of the law, it is also reform-minded and forward-looking.' ‘Researchers and scholars will appreciate that this insightful volume is sensitive to the context in which the EU’s involvement in Consumer and Contract Law has developed over time, and it provides the reader with a very comprehensive analysis in describing and discussing the state of the law from various perspectives and approaches. More importantly, the volume contains some ‘food for thought’ because it not only contains a state-of-the art description of the law, but it also looks ahead. So it fits perfectly into the series of research handbooks on European Law. This legal literary genre the Research Handbook is very significant for researchers given that it analyses the latest thinking, research and practice across the field of European Law. In particular, this ambitious volume focuses on those emerging areas that deserve special attention in the field.’
