This book analyses the history of the common law foundations of consumer law, and encourages readers to rethink the role that consumer law plays in our society. Consumer law is often constructed as purely statute-based law. However – as this collection will demonstrate – this is far from the truth. Much of the history of the common law concerns consumer transactions and markets. Case law has often established or modified the ground rules of consumer markets, has had a patterning effect on the economic organisation of markets, and has expressed cultural visions of the market and consumers. An analysis of landmark cases of consumer law allows many traditional cases to be viewed through a new and distinct lens, providing significant academic and intellectual value. The collection also includes a unique socio-legal perspective, considering the role that consumer law has played in addressing racial discrimination, LGBTQ challenges and the rights of women. This collection of landmark cases demonstrates the theoretical and practical significance of consumer law through a wide range of contributions by distinguished authors from the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States and Australia.

This unique book tells the story of the coming of age of EU consumer law, a legal domain that hasn't ceased to expand in depth and scope during the last 20 years. However, this book has not been conceived by the editors as an exercise in nostalgia. The contributions offer ample food for thought about the challenges awaiting consumer law in the years to come. The selected cases in this book are therefore without exception landmark decisions. What this volume doesn't offer however, is an exhaustive overview of EU consumer law jurisprudence. It doesn't aspire to be a textbook covering all aspects of consumer law. Rather, the authors have approached the cases - some of which have been commented upon quite extensively in legal doctrine already - from a novel and personal perspective, sometimes coloured by the contributor's particular background, concerns and interest. Very often, the cases have been used as a point of departure to point out a development in EU and / or national consumer law. The result of the contributors' efforts does not only read as splendid anthology but it will be read and continued to be read by anyone interested in EU consumer law --
