Cross-Border Consumer Contracts: Oxford Private International Law Series

Autor Jonathan Hill
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 sep 2008
Until relatively recently, almost all contracts were domestic: both the consumer and the supplier were from the same country and the situation involved no substantial foreign elements. Technological changes (in terms of international travel, means of communication and information technology) have meant that it is a more frequent occurrence for consumer contracts to involve a cross-border dimension. This book explores the legal regimes which seek to deal with disputes which arise out of such cross-border consumer contracts. In terms of private international law, English law traditionally treated consumer contracts no differently from commercial contracts. However, at European level, jurisdictional and choice of law issues arising out of certain consumer contracts are subject to specific rules. The first part of the book focuses on these European developments and seeks to explain why the private litigation model for the resolution of disputes arising out of cross-border consumer contracts has failed to deal adequately with the problems generated by such contracts. Subsequent to these failures, alternative mechanisms for resolving contractual disputes have a particular significance in the consumer context. The second part of the book focuses on an evaluation of these alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, including online dispute resolution.

Recenzii

The final judjement and verdict comes easy.This book is a gem. It has a high aim and succeeds splendidly. It generates plenty of new insights. It is a giant leap forward in understanding the mechanisms and the surroundings of cross-border consumer contracts. My personal PIL book of the year
In pointing out the economic imperatives, Hill has done us a service, by focussing our attention on the only realistic means of improving the situation, and by dispelling complacency. He sets before us clearly and unsparingly all the current options, with thie limitations, and for the moment lawyers and advisers must work within them
