Verbraucherschutz auf elektronischen Märkten

Today, the internet is an important marketplace for transactions of goods and services. However, e-commerce involves specific legal risks for the purchaser. The European legislator, and therefore the European member states as well, try to protect the consumers by numerous new statutes, which indeed were constructed without considering the specific economic mechanisms of the internet, the so-called network economy. Wolfgang Seiler compiles and discusses the European and German consumer protection law for the internet in the context of network economy and examines the need for amendments.
