| Summary |
"This book seeks to introduce the reader to the substantive law of consumer protection in the United Kingdom, with the emphasis being on the place of United Kingdom law within an evolving European legal system and also on the need to draw upon comparative experience. The book seeks to place consumer protection not only in its purely black-letter context but also to draw upon wider readings to show that consumer protection law is a complex area of law which reflects and shapes the individual citizen's position within the modern economy."--BOOK JACKET |
