European consumer protection: theory and practice Mel Kenny and James Devenney. "This volume analyses the theory and practice of European consumer protection in the context of consolidation initiatives seen, inter alia, in the revision of the Consumer Acquis, the Draft Common Frame of Reference and the proposal for an EU Consumer Rights Directive. The issues addressed are all the more significant given the revisions to the proposed Directive, the appointment of an 'Expert Group on a Common Frame of Reference' and the Commission's 2010 Green Paper on progress towards a European Contract Law. The contributions to this volume point to the arrival of a contested moment in EU consumer protection, questioning the arrival of the 'empowered' consumer and uncovering the fault lines between consumer protection and other goals. What emerges is a model of poly-contextual EU consumer protection law, a model that challenges the assumptions in both the 2010 Green Paper and the revised proposed Consumer Rights Directive"-- Consumer protection European Union countries. 57616 LAW / Corporate. bisacsh 57617 Devenney, James. editor. 57618 Kenny, Mel. editor. 57619 7 cbc orignew 1 ecip 20 y-gencatlg lcc BK CK 68274 68248 0 0 lcc 0 0 GEN CPL CPL GEN 2025-02-10 Purchase- Regent Book Supplies 150.37 0 HC 240.9.Z9.C63 .E96 2012 T00965W3232 2025-03-11 12:37:16 1 150.37 2025-03-11 BK 0 0 lcc 0 0 GEN CPL CPL GEN 2025-02-10 Purchase- Regent Book Supplies 150.37 0 HC 240.9.Z9.C63 .E96 2012 T00962W3232 2025-03-11 15:29:25 2 150.37 2025-03-11 BK
