Consumer Protection
by John Karakostas
Professor Emeritus at the University of Athens
Abstract: This edition is among the most complete analyses of consumer protec-
tion law. Numerous recent changes in the law, aiming at implementing the cor-
responding EU Directives, have made this new edition necessary. This book con-
stitutes an article-by-article commentary of the fundamental Law 2251/1994,
as currently in force, and is structured in the following main sections: unfair
standard contract terms, off-premises contracts, distance contracts, producer li-
ability for defective products, consumer health and safety, service provider liabil-
ity, advertising, judicial and out-of-court protection. This edition is completed by
relevant studies-legal opinions, a bibliography and useful templates.
