EU Consumer Law: Article-by-Article Commentary

The first work to provide a complete, article-by-article commentary on all key European consumer protection instruments in a single volume. The ‘Commentary on EU Consumer Law’ is the first work to provide 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 legislation and well-established directives. Each provision is explained in detail, taking into account the relevant case law of the CJEU and the diverse national implementation approaches.European consumer law has grown and evolved significantly in recent years. New legislative acts relating to digitalisation and sustainability – such as the Sale of Goods Directive, the revised Product Liability Directive, and the proposed Repair Directive – add to an already complex regulatory landscape. At the same time, the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has fundamentally shaped key instruments such as the Consumer Rights Directive, the Credit Directives, or the Unfair Terms Directive. For practitioners, there is a growing need for a systematic, up-to-date, and accessible commentary on EU consumer law. This commentary is aimed at lawyers, judges, consumer organisations, policymakers, and academics. It provides in-depth guidance and practical insights for anyone working with EU consumer law.
