This book offers a comprehensive exploration of contemporary issues in consumer law. Organized by the International Association of Consumer Law (IACL) and presented at the 18th World Consumer Law Conference in Hamburg, it examines multifaceted challenges across various jurisdictions and sectors. It begins with an analysis of the integration of consumer protection into financial services, featuring insights into Brazilian over-indebtedness frameworks and South African corporate responsibility. A significant portion is devoted to trade obligations and faulty goods, including comparative studies involving Ghana, the UK, and the EU, alongside discussions on product durability.The volume adopts an interdisciplinary approach, exploring the intersection of consumer law with competition law, gender studies, and intellectual property. It brings together international perspectives, ranging from gender protection in Argentina to trademark analysis in China. In the digital context, the book addresses evolving challenges such as Online Dispute Resolution (ODR), blockchain, and the liability of online platforms under EU and Turkish law. It also examines the impact of artificial intelligence in healthcare, deceptive design practices, and the important link between consumer protection and environmental sustainability.Covering emerging areas such as food law and the protection of international tourists, this book is an essential resource for legal scholars, practitioners, and policymakers navigating the complex landscape of modern consumer protection.

This book reflects the research output of the Committee on the International Protection of Consumers of the International Law Association (ILA). The Committee was created in 2008, with a mandate to study the role of public and private law to protect consumers, review UN Guidelines, and to model laws, international treaties and national legislations concerning protection and consumer redress. It has been accepted to act as an observer not only when the UNCTAD was updating its guidelines, but also at the Hague Conference on Private International Law. The book includes the contributions of various Committee members in the past few years and is a result of the cooperation between the Committee members and experts from Australia, Brazil, Canada and China. It is divided into three parts: the first part addresses trends and challenges in international protection of consumers, while the second part focuses on financial crises and consumer protection and thethird part examines national and regional consumer law issues.

Rechtsdurchsetzung, Globalisierung und digitaler Raum ist in aller Munde. Brasilien ist eines der ersten Länder, das gegen systematische Nutzung von Big Data zulasten bestimmter Kundengruppen vorgeht. Die Europäische Union gilt als Vorreiter für Privatschutz in einem globalisierten digitalen Raum. Viel breiter jedoch bildet die Digitalisierung auch im Bereich der Rechtsdurchsetzung das allesbeherrschende Thema unserer Zeit. Der Band versammelt die Vorträge zum Thema aus den letzten beiden Jahrestagungen der Deutsch-Lusitanischen Juristenvereinigung in Porto und Karlsruhe.

Auch wenn vielfach ohne erläuternde Zusätze vom "Verbraucher", von "Verbraucherschutz" oder "Verbraucherrecht" die Rede ist, verbergen sich hinter diesen einheitlichen "Etiketten" bei näherer Betrachtung unterschiedliche Verbraucherbegriffe und Verbraucherleitbilder sowie verschiedene Schutzkonzeptionen und gesetzgeberische Zwecke. Ein genauerer Blick hinter die einheitliche begriffliche "Fassade" deshalb ebenso lohnend wie eine präzisere Betrachtung der situativen Differenzierungen im Verbraucherrecht.Der III. Workshop des brasilianisch-deutschen Forschungsnetzwerkes zum Verbraucherrecht, der im März 2016 in München stattfand, befasste sich in rechtsvergleichender Perspektive mit den unterschiedlichen Verbraucherbegriffen, Verbraucherleitbildern und situativen Differenzierungen im Verbraucherrecht. Das brasilianisch-deutsche Forschungsnetzwerkes zum Verbraucherrecht steht für einen kontinuierlichen wissenschaftlichen Dialog zwischen brasilianischen und deutschen Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern. Die nachfolgenden Beiträge der brasilianischen und deutschen Referentinnen und Referenten eröffnen einen vertieften Blick auf Entwicklung, aktuellen Stand und Perspektiven verschiedener Facetten des brasilianischen, des deutschen und des europäischen Verbraucherrechts.

Der Band versammelt die Vorträge der Jahrestagungen der Deutsch-Lusitanischen Juristenvereinigung zu "Kunst und Recht" vom 11. und 12. November 2016 in Berlin und zu "Architektur und Recht" vom 10. und 11. November 2017 in Jena.

This book covers technologies that pose new challenges for consumer policy, creative developments that can help protect consumers’ economic interests, innovative approaches to addressing perennial consumer concerns, and the challenges entailed by emerging ways of creating and delivering consumer products and services.  In addition, it reflects on past successes and failures of consumer law and policy, explores opportunities for moving consumer law in a different direction, and discusses potential threats to consumer welfare, especially in connection with the changing political landscape in many parts of the world. Several chapters examine consumer law in individual countries, while others have an international focus.
