Description and Table of Contents

Description

Consumer Law and Practice is a popular text for students at u/g level and on the Legal Practice Course. It is also useful for practitioners (including those advising businesses) and by non-lawyers requiring information which can be quickly understood. The authors have continued to use an innovative problem-solving approach to the subject, focusing on situations in which clients may find themselves and explaining how the law deals with such situations.
