Reviews

'A collection of essays that successfully combine deep academic reflection on the role of party autonomy in the theory of contract with useful detailed legal analysis concerning practical, important issues like product liability, consumer credit and consumer sales. Offering new and thought-provoking insights, it can be recommended to students and practitioners interested in consumer law and European private law.' Thomas Wilhelmsson, University of Helsinki, Finland 'The book is a topical and insightful examination of contemporary issues in consumer law and economics. It assesses the questions of law and policy that govern intervention in the functioning of markets in the name of better information provision.' Stephen Weatherill, Jacques Delors Professor, The University of Oxford, UK 'The book will stimulate anyone interested in the functions of the various legal information requirements introduced on the European level not only as a means of protecting consumers but also in other areas of private law. Together the eleven contributions present a detailed and varied study of information duties in different private law contexts.' Peter MAgelvang-Hansen, Professor, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark ''There is something of interest for most readers: from those preferring a theoretical, abstract discussion to those who desire detailed and specific considerations of particular rules in particular jurisdictions. The collection provides much food for thought and will no doubt stimulate further debate in the area.' Journal of Consumer Policy
