Consumer Credit, Debt and Investment in Europe
 |

Produced under the auspices of an
EU-funded Marie Curie research programme, this volume analyses vulnerability in
European private law and scrutinises consumer protection in credit and
investments in the context of the recent turmoil in financial markets and EU
harmonisation initiatives in the area. It explores key issues such as
responsible lending, the disclosure of information, consumer confidence, the
regulation of consumer investment services and the protection of bank
depositors. The chapters emanate from the 'Consumer Protection in Europe: Theory
and Practice' duo colloquium which explored consumer protection in Europe in its
theoretical and practical dimensions. These topics are even more relevant today
given the passage of the Consumer Rights Directive, the appointment of an Expert
Group on a common frame of reference, the Green Paper on European Contract Law
and the ongoing deliberations surrounding the Common European Sales
Law.
