The Book
European consumer law has grown and evolved significantly in recent years. New legislation relating to digitalisation and sustainability - such as the Sale of Goods Directive 2019/771, the revised Product Liability Directive 2024/2853, and the Repair Directive 2024/1799 - add to an already complex regulatory landscape. At the same time, CJEU case law has fundamentally shaped key laws such as the Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83 or the Unfair Terms Directive 93/13. For practitioners, there is a growing need for a systematic, up-to-date, and accessible commentary on EU consumer law.
This book provides a complete, article-by-article commentary on all key European consumer protection instruments in a single volume. It offers a clear, structured, and practice-oriented interpretation of both newly adopted and well-established legislation. Each provision is explained in detail, taking into account the relevant case law of the CJEU and the diverse national implementation approaches.
