Book Description

The Fair Trading Act Handbook is a successor to Trotman & Wilson Fair Trading: Misleading or Deceptive Conduct, which focused specifically on the s9 prohibition on misleading or deceptive conduct and the remedies available for breach of that section. Its two editions have been widely used by practitioners and cited in the courts. With the introduction of a new purpose section and new provisions in 2013, and the anticipated increasing use of these and the other provisions, The Fair Trading Act Handbook provides a timely broadening of the respected commentary of its predecessor. It discusses all of the substantive provisions, as well as the civil and criminal remedies available following breach. It considers relevant cases on these provisions, and where information is available, discusses the Commerce Commissions use of more informal means of educating traders to enhance compliance through the use of compliance advice and warning letters.

Book Description

For many decades consumer protection laws have focused on preventing “bad” choices. Though that approach has some value, this book explains we are much more often harmed, even killed, by the needless delay of new inventions that could save lives or vastly improve life quality. Thomas Tacker explains how we can revamp regulation to embrace inventions that save and improve lives while still holding companies accountable for actions that harm consumers. Case studies include price gouging, the FDA approval process, airport passenger screening, and occupational licensing, particularly as it relates to Uber. This book demonstrates that enacting appropriate liability laws and providing information to guide consumers, rather than strictly controlling their choices, will save thousands of lives annually, increase consumer freedom, and make life more enjoyable.

Book Description

This new edition continues to provide a critical introduction to the legal regulation of consumer markets, situating it within the context of broader debates about rationales for regulation, the role of the state and the growth of neo-liberalism. It draws on interdisciplinary sources, assessing, for example, the increased influence of behavioural economics on consumer law. It analyses the Europeanisation of consumer law and the tensions between neo-liberalism and the social market, consumer protection and consumer choice, in the establishment of the single market ground rules. The book also assesses national, regional and international responses to the world financial crisis as reflected in the regulation of consumer credit markets. This edition incorporates recent legislative and judicial developments of the law, blending substantial extracts from primary UK, EU and international legal materials.

Book Description

Providing an indispensable comparative and in-depth resource, FAIR TRADING: MISLEADING OR DECEPTIVE CONDUCT 2nd edition, examines 26 years of section 9 case law and distils the consequent principles from the Fair Trading Act 1986. The authors explore the key elements of an action under section 9: namely that there is "conduct" "in trade" that is "misleading or deceptive". The authors then consider examples of potentially misleading or deceptive conduct: including nondisclosure of information, opinions and advice, laudatory statements, predictions and promises. The second part of the book covers procedural aspects, liability as a party or principal under the Fair Trading Act 1986, and its defences. Finally, remedies for a breach, including injunction, damages, and miscellaneous additional remedies found in section 43 are reviewed. As knowledge about and expertise in fair trading actions has become an integral and daily part of commercial law FAIR TRADING: MISLEADING ORDECEPTIVE CONDUCT 2nd edition will become the essential resource for commercial lawyers, litigators and students.
