Christine Riefa, ‘Codification: The Future of English Consumer Law?’

Abstract:
Consumer Law in England is a complex web of legislation. In the context of the most recent reform, consolidating a number of pieces of statute, this paper reflects on how English consumer law ought to develop in the future and whether this embryonic codification should be pursued, replaced by some other form or abandoned altogether to a return to its judge-made common law roots. It concludes that codification offers a better system and should be favoured.
