Résumé
European Consumer Law has adapted and evolved in response to the rapid growth of e-commerce in the last two decades. Compliance with European Consumer Law: The Case of E-Commerce
examines the evolving legal framework at the EU and national levels -
from mandatory disclosures to unfair contract terms - and analyses the
extent to which scientifically grounded evidence or theories underpin
these legislative choices.
At the heart of the book lies an
original, data-driven inquiry assessing compliance among e-commerce
traders with consumer protection rules. The empirical analysis
investigates whether 300 traders from four jurisdictions (France,
Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom) comply with their
legal duties and identifies reasons for non-compliance. It translates
the evidence of previously undiscovered non-compliance patterns into
targeted and actionable policy recommendations, presenting a significant
new interpretation of the regulatory landscape.
Compliance with European Consumer Law offers
a unique, analytical perspective and contributes to a deeper
understanding of e-commerce regulation. Innovative and engaging, this
book advocates for a more evidence-driven approach within European
Consumer Law aimed at strengthening the effectiveness of the rules and
fostering trader compliance.
