The book offers a new theoretical perspective on the relationship between market regulation and private law in the face of contemporary challenges, such as climate change, the digitalisation of the marketplace, and growing inequality in society, with significant practical implications for a wide range of areas. It focuses on European private law to explore the uneasy interplay between the instrumental public regulation of economic activity and traditional, interpersonal justice-oriented private law in the multi-level and heterarchical legal order of the European Union (EU). By drawing together different elements of what are at present often disparate discourses of market regulation and private law, the book develops an integrated analytical framework that could help us better understand the interaction between the two. The central argument advanced in the book is that market regulation and private law are two sides of the same coin that can be reconciled with each other.

This insightful book provides a comprehensive analysis of the interplay between EU financial regulation and civil liability. It explores this interrelationship in order to determine whether a coordinated approach has been adopted.Examining EU law and the law of several current EU member states, one former EU member state, and the US, expert contributors consider the level of coordination between financial regulation and civil liability achieved throughout different sectors of financial services and activities, such as payments, credit, and securities, as well as among the various actors involved in public, private, and hybrid enforcement, such as courts, alternative dispute resolution bodies, and financial regulators. Distinguished scholars contribute a variety of perspectives, combining top-down and bottom-up legal comparative analysis, law and economics, and experimentalist governance, in order to outline directions for cross-sector and cross-actor coordination to develop more fully at EU and national level. In doing so, they highlight the need to fundamentally rethink the role of civil liability, and private law remedies more generally, as a regulatory and compensatory tool in European financial law.Scholars across the fields of European and private law, financial regulation and economics will find this book to be an astute and engaging read. It will also prove an indispensable guide for practitioners working in financial regulation and private law throughout the EU and beyond.
