The emergence of EU Private Law as an independent legal
discipline is one of the most significant developments in European
legal scholarship in recent times. In this Companion, leading
scholars provide a critical introduction to the subject's key
areas, while offering original and thought-provoking comment on the
field. In addition to several chapters on consumer law topics, the
collection has individual chapters on commercial contracts,
competition law, non-discrimination law, financial services and
travel law. It also discusses the wider issues concerning EU
Private Law, such as its historical evolution, the role of
comparative law, language and terminology, as well as the
implications of the Common Frame of Reference project. A useful
'scene-setting' introduction and further reading arranged
thematically make this important publication the student's and
scholar's first port of call when exploring the field.
