Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Better Regulation in EU Contract Law: The Fitness Check and the New Deal for Consumers by Edited by Esther Van Schagen Edited by Professor Stephen Weatherill
This book is the first critical investigation of EU better regulation from the contract law perspective. The Commission’s ‘New Deal for EU Consumers’ implements both the Better Regulation Guidelines and the combined evaluation of multiple Directives in the form of a ‘fitness check’. This allows difficulties and best practices at a national level to be explored as demonstrated by experience with the EU’s Unfair Terms Directive. Both the fitness check and the impact assessment should facilitate critical reflection on the design of EU contract law. This book asks questions to assess if ultimately the potential of better regulation is being realised.
