Recenzii

'...The Yearbook of Consumer Law 2009 is vital reading for anyone studying or practising in this fascinating and fast-moving area of law. It is quickly gaining a reputation as the leading consumer law journal by including articles that are expertly selected, thought provoking and (most importantly) relevant. The continued approach of including articles from other jurisdictions (like Malta) means the reader is able to compare UK law to international law and look at how the law may develop. If the editors maintain the quality, like I am sure they will do, The Yearbook of Consumer Law 2009 will remain a favourite of mine for years to come.' The Student Law Journal
