Consumer protection challenges civil procedural law dogmatics to reconstruct basic social functions of legal proceedings. In comparing Germany and England, Eva Kocher studies forms of representing individual and social interests in consumer procedural law.
Consumer protection challenges civil procedural law dogmatics to reconstruct basic social functions of legal proceedings. In comparing Germany and England, Eva Kocher studies the forms of representing interests in consumer procedural law, in particular »locus standi« and private legal actions taken by associations, as well as instruments for decreasing the formal requirements in individual proceedings, such as for example small claims proceedings or settlements before court. The result of this study is the author's appeal for a differentiation between judicial and non-judicial functions of legal proceedings.
