Book Synopsis

This volume is one of a series addressing the interaction between the law and the market. Howells (U. of Lancaster) and Weatherill (U. of Oxford) cover EU consumer policy, product and service liability, consumer credit, advertising, unfair commercial practices and related topics. The second edition omits chapters on food law and title and risk and incorporates the discussion of private law and consumer protection into the chapter covering quality of goods and services. New cases and recent changes in legislation are also reflected in the revisions. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
