"The publication of Scholars of Tort Law marks the beginning of a long overdue rebalancing of private law scholarship. Instead of concentrating on judicial decisions and academic commentary only for what that commentary says about judicial decisions, the book explores the contributions of scholars of tort law in their own right. The work of a selection of leading scholars of tort law from across the common law world, ranging from Thomas Cooley (1824-1898) to Patrick Atiyah (1931-2018), is addressed by eminent current scholars in the field. The focus of the contributions is on the nature of the work produced by each of the scholars in question, important influences on their work, and the influence which that work in turn had on thinking about tort law. The process of subjecting tort law scholarship to sustained analysis provides new insights into the intellectual development of tort law and reveals the important role played by scholars in that development. By focusing on the work of influential tort scholars, the book serves to emphasise the importance of legal scholarship to the development of the common law more generally".

Mit dem Ziel, eine Kapitalmarktunion zu errichten, die einen verbesserten Zugang zu Finanzierungen für innovative, nicht börsennotierte Unternehmen bedeutet, hat der europäische Gesetzgeber das Recht der plattformbasierten Projektfinanzierung (Crowdfunding) in weiten Teilen harmonisiert. Die hierfür erlassene Crowdfunding-Verordnung statuiert für Schwarmfinanzierungsdienstleister weitreichende und vor allem neuartige Verhaltens-, Organisations-, Informationspflichten inklusive Gatekeeper-Anforderungen. Für die Betreiber von Schwarmfinanzierungsplattformen entstehen dadurch erhebliche rechtliche wie auch tatsächliche Herausforderungen.

Verbraucherinnen und Verbraucher können durch ihr Konsumverhalten auf die Märkte Einfluss nehmen - sei es durch die bewusste Wahl oder Ablehnung bestimmter Produkte und Konsummuster, sei es durch lautstarken Protest, z.B. in Demonstrationen gegen den Klimawandel. Doch wie weit reicht die Macht der Verbraucher? Wie konfliktfähig sind sie angesichts oftmals heterogener Interessenlagen, unterschiedlicher Zielvorstellungen und allenfalls schwach ausgeprägter Gruppenidentität? Welche Formen der Interessenartikulation stehen zur Verfügung, und wie werden sie genutzt? Welche Rolle spielen Verbraucherpolitik, Unternehmen und der digitale Wandel? Der vorliegende Band dokumentiert die fünfte Jahrestagung des Netzwerks Verbraucherforschung. Consumers can influence markets through their consumption behaviour-whether by consciously choosing or rejecting certain products and consumption patterns, or by loudly protesting, for example in demonstrations against climate change. But how far does the power of consumers extend? How capable of conflict are they in the face of often heterogeneous interests, differing objectives and, at best, weakly developed group identities? What forms of interest articulation are available and how are they used? What role do consumer policy, companies and the digital revolution play in this regard? This volume documents the fifth annual conference of the Consumer Research Network.

"It has long been thought that fairness in European Consumer Law would be achieved by relying on information as a remedy and expecting the average consumer to keep businesses in check by voting with their feet. This monograph argues that the way consumer law operates today promises a lot but does not deliver enough. It struggles to avoid harm being caused to consumers and it struggles to repair the harm after the event. To achieve fairness, solutions need to be found elsewhere. Consumer Theories of Harm offers an alternative model to assess where and how consumer detriment may occur and suggests solutions to prevent it. It shows that a more confident use of economic theory will allow practitioners to demonstrate how a poor standard of professional diligence lies at the heart of consumer harm. The book provides both theoretical and practical examples of how to combine existing law with economic theory to improve case outcomes. It also shows how public enforcers can move beyond the dominant transparency paradigm to an approach where firms have a positive duty to treat consumers fairly and to shape their commercial offers in a way that prevents consumers from making mistakes. Over time, this 'fairness-by-design' approach will emerge as the only acceptable way to compete".
