Modernising and Harmonising Consumer Contract Law
12-13 January 2009, Williamson Building, The University of Manchester
The next months will be crucial for the development of consumer contract law in Europe and the UK. The EC has proposed a horizontal consumer contract directive and the UK government is considering modernising consumer law, perhaps by significantly reforming sales and contract law.
The Manchester Law School and Munster's Centre for European Private Law are hosting a conference bringing together leading contract law scholars and policy makers from across Europe to consider what elements should be in a modern consumer contract law and the extent to which the laws of member states should be harmonised.
