Module contents
This module conveys how new technologies impact on private law and, in particular, on consumer law. It focuses on the (modified) interpretation of existing laws but even more on the reactions of the EU and national legislators and of the judiciary to new technological developments. The module discusses, among others, distance selling law, digitalised sales law and product liability law, the law of digital content and digital services, unfair commercial practices on internet and the law of the platform economy. Finally, the module looks at enforcement.
