Economics of Enforcing European Consumer Law - A Comparative Analysis of
Package Travel and Misleading Advertising”. Ashgate (2014) 334 págs.
.
In the internet age, the need for
effective consumer law enforcement has arguably never been greater. This timely
book is a comparative law and economic analysis of the changing landscape of EU
consumer law enforcement policy. EU member states are moving away from purely
public or private law enforcement and now appear to be moving towards a more
mixed approach, not least due to European legislation. This book reflects on
the need for and creation of efficient enforcement designs. It examines the
various economic factors according to which the efficiency of different
enforcement mechanisms can be assessed. Hypothetical case scenarios within
package travel and misleading advertising, dealing with substantial individual
harm and trifling and widespread harm are used to illustrate various consumer
law problems. Design suggestions on how to optimally mix enforcement mechanisms
for these case scenarios are developed. The findings are then used as a
benchmark to assess real life situations in countries with different
enforcement traditions - the Netherlands, Sweden and England..
The book is of value to both
researchers and policy-makers working in the area of consumer protection.

Reviews: ‘Until recently, consumer policy has mainly
focussed on enabling consumer choice by requiring traders to inform consumers
properly. Whether this policy is actually effective has not obtained much
attention. This topical book fills that gap by focussing on the enforcement of
consumer protection laws from the perspective of law and economics.’

.'Weber’s study - very convincingly - advocates a mixture of public and private law elements for the enforcement of consumer rights. The selected cases offer wonderful examples of the various objectives which legislatures must keep in mind, and her profound economic analysis offers well-balanced solutions which should be taken into account by lawmakers when considering new efforts for the protection of consumer rights.'
