| Description: |
Provides an analysis of good faith and fairness in consumer contracts. A controversial issue given the Unfair Terms Directive/Regulations and the questions as to its impact on English law, this book examines the complexity of 'fairness' as a legal and moral concept and its relationship with socio-economic policies such as European integration. |
| Synopsis: |
This book focuses on unfair contract terms in consumer contracts, in particular the existing legislation and the proposals by the Law Commissions for a new unified regime. In this context it considers, in particular, what we mean by fairness (both procedurally and in substance); the tools used; the European dimension; the move from general principles from the more piecemeal approach typical in UK legal tradition; and the further move in this direction as a result of the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive. |
