This book examines the effects of digitalisation on consumers and markets, and whether consumer law rules are fit for purpose.Examining existing consumer law as it interconnects with the related spheres of competition law, intellectual property law, human rights law and dispute resolution regimes, it considers the future of rule and regime building for consumer protection in the face of digital disruption. Offering new perspectives on recent legal developments for consumers, this book examines how general consumer protection principles deal with emergent issues such as the regulation of cryptocurrencies, online auctions, artificial intelligence, intellectual property and digital content services. It highlights issues of cross-border choice of law and enforcement issues for consumer protection as it relates to digital disruption. Exploring the consumer law and policy of the EU and closely related jurisdictions, this volume offers insights that could help inform debates and build rules and regimes for consumer protection.The book will be of interest to postgraduate students, academics and policymakers, given the worldwide challenges presented by digital disruption to consumer protection.

This thoroughly revised and updated Research Handbook addresses key questions and challenges in EU private international law. Bringing together perspectives from both civil and common law, it examines not only civil matters, such as contract and tort, but also recent developments in family and succession law.Expanding on topics discussed in the first edition, this Handbook includes new chapters on class actions, party autonomy, behavioural economics and the harmonisation of private international law in successions and parental responsibility. It adds to the analysis of the Rome I and II Regulations, with particular focus on the law applicable to defamation and privacy. The Handbook also explores parallel proceedings and the lis pendens rules, as well as a novel application of the effectiveness of EU law in the context of both Brussels I and arbitration. This edition assesses current proceedings and identifies new areas for improvement in EU private international law.This illuminating Handbook is a crucial reference point for scholars and students in private international law, European law, family law and the law of succession. Legal practitioners and commercial lobbyists will also benefit from its insights.
