This book will trace in detail the implementation of the E.C. Directive on Certain Aspects of the Sale of Consumer Goods and Associated Guarantees in three Member States, and also monitor the impact of the Directive in the other Member States, including the new members from Central and Eastern Europe.

For many years, legislators around the world have responded to the particular needs of consumers by introducing dedicated rules for consumer sales contracts. In the European Union, a significant push came through the adoption of the Consumer Sales Directive (99/44/EC). Elsewhere in the world, legislation focusing on consumer sales contracts has been introduced, for example in New Zealand and Australia. This book offers a snapshot of the current state of consumer sales law in a range of jurisdictions around the globe. It provides both an overview of the law in selected jurisdictions and compares the application of these rules in the context of two case scenarios.
