Online Dispute Resolution for Consumers in the European Union

More about the book

Focusing on the evolution of Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) for consumers in the EU, this book explores the current landscape and challenges of ODR in business-to-consumer disputes. It highlights the influence of the European legislator through the Mediation Directive and the English judiciary in promoting mediation. The author argues for a new Directive to bridge the gap between ODR's potential and its actual utilization, advocating for a robust European regulatory framework to enhance consumer rights and effectively address e-commerce disputes.
