This topical collection of essays focuses on European consumer protection in credit and investments in the context of recent turmoil in those markets. It deals with key issues including responsible lending, information disclosure, consumer confidence, the regulation of consumer investment services and the protection of bank depositors.
Produced under the auspices of an EU-funded Marie Curie research programme, this volume analyses vulnerability in European private law and scrutinises consumer protection in credit and investments in the context of the recent turmoil in financial markets and EU harmonisation initiatives in the area. It explores key issues such as responsible lending, the disclosure of information, consumer confidence, the regulation of consumer investment services and the protection of bank depositors. The chapters emanate from the 'Consumer Protection in Europe: Theory and Practice' duo colloquium which explored consumer protection in Europe in its theoretical and practical dimensions. These topics are even more relevant today given the passage of the Consumer Rights Directive, the appointment of an Expert Group on a common frame of reference, the Green Paper on European Contract Law and the ongoing deliberations surrounding the Common European Sales Law.

James Devenney is Professor of Commercial Law at the School of Law, University of Exeter. Mel Kenny is Reader in Commercial Law at Leicester Law School.
