In particular, the manuscript demonstrates that the Directive 2005/29/EC on unfair commercial practices ('UCPD') has had a major impact on contract law, despite the declaration concerning the formal independence between the two branches of law established by Article 3(2) UCPD. The insights and conclusions identified in the book contribute to a better understanding of European private law and the general process of Europeanisation of private law in the European Union, and in particular of contract law."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Modern studies in european law ;62.Competition, UnfairEuropean Union countriesConsumer protectionLaw and legislationEuropean Union countriesContractsEuropean Union countriesInternational lawCompetition, UnfairConsumer protectionLaw and legislationContracts346.2407Durovic Mateja895194UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910809585903321European law on unfair commercial practices and contract law4057761UNINA
