Credit, Consumers and the Law
Consumer law, particularly consumer credit law, is characterised by increasingly complex regulation in Western economies. Reacting to the Global Financial Crisis, governments in the UK, the EU, Australia, New Zealand and the United States have adopted new laws dealing with consumer credit, responsible lending, consumer guarantees and unfair contracts.
Drawing together authors from all of these jurisdictions, Credit, Consumers and the Law analyses and evaluates these initiatives, and makes predictions as to their likely success and possible flaws.
