The EU is committed to making the Single Market fit for the digital age, by enhancing the protection of consumers and data subjects, while providing businesses with the legal certainty they need to invest in this field and support growth and innovation. In this context, European Contract Law and the Digital Single Market, an edited collection consisting of carefully selected contributions by leading scholars, addresses the impact of digital technology on European Private Law in light of the latest legislative developments including the EU Regulation of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on free movement of such data, as well as the European Commission's proposals of 9 December 2015 for a Directive on the supply of digital content, for a Directive on online and other distance sale of goods and for a Regulation on the cross-border portability of online content services in the internal market. The book analyses new and urgent issues in the field of contract, data protection, copyright and private international law: namely the EU approach to personal information as a tradeable commodity and as the object of a fundamental right of the individuals concerned, the protection of consumers' and users' rights in contracts for the supply of digital content and on online and other distance sales of goods, the cross-border portability of online content services, the new features of standard contracts in the digital market and the issues surrounding the emergence of the so called platform economy. Written for both scholars and practitioners, this edited collection provides clear answers to the challenges posed by the digital revolution and acts as a solid basis for further developments of EU law.With contributions by: Christoph Busch, Joana Campos Carvalho, Alberto De Franceschi, Pietro Franzina, Martin Gebauer, Geraint Howells, Peter Kindler, Michael Lehmann, Rodrigo Momberg, Jorge Morais Carvalho, Karl-Nikolaus Peifer, Reiner Schulze, Christian Twigg-Flesner, and Herbert Zech

Die Harmonisierung des "Digital Contract Law" ist angesichts der "digitalen Revolution" für die EU und ihre Mitgliedstaaten zu einer entscheidenden Aufgabe der Gesetzgebung geworden. Die Umsetzung der "Twin Directives" von 2019 über den Warenkauf und die Bereitstellung digitaler Inhalte und Dienstleistungen stellt einen der wichtigsten Schritte auf diesem Weg dar. Neben der Harmonisierung des mitgliedstaatlichen Rechts gewinnt die Entstehung eines einheitlichen EU-Rechts im Hinblick auf die Herausforderungen der Digitalisierung immer mehr an Bedeutung, wie zuletzt insbesondere die Internet-Plattform-Verordnungen gezeigt haben. 40 führende Rechtswissenschaftler aus allen EU-Mitgliedstaaten untersuchen anhand gemeinsamer Fragestellungen die Auswirkungen der europäischen Gesetzgebung auf die Entwicklung des Privatrechts in Europa. Weitere Beiträge analysieren die übergreifenden Merkmale der Harmonisierung, die Konturen und Auswirkungen der Rechtsvereinheitlichung im Hinblick auf die Internet-Plattform-Verordnungen, Smart Contracts und die weiteren Perspektiven der EU-Gesetzgebung angesichts der Herausforderungen im Bereich Digitalisierung und Nachhaltigkeit.

This book offers an innovative and systematic analysis of the new rules on consumer sales contracts in several EU Member States after the implementation of Directive 2011/83/EU on consumer rights. The national reports, all written by highly respected authors, focus in particular on the scope of application of the implementing provisions of the Consumer Rights Directive and their interplay with the already existing rules on consumer contracts, as well as on the relationship between the national 'special' rules concerning consumer sales and the general domestic rules on sales contracts. Furthermore, each contribution looks ahead by weighing the next steps for the European Sales Law and its possible interaction with national regulation of consumer sales. The book therefore addresses not only academics but also practitioners and members of the European institutions who are dealing with the task of shaping new European consumer and contract law --Back cover

This Handbook explores the ways in which the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence could recalibrate the relationship between law and individuality and change the foundational structures of our legal systems. In this perspective, the volume contributes to the emerging literature on "granular law" or "personalized law". Bringing together contributions by eminent scholars from both sides of the Atlantic, it aims to serve both as a gateway to this emerging and promising field and as a catalyst for new scholarly research. In particular, this Handbook explores the concept of personalized law, its implementation in contract, consumer and tort law, as well as the related implications for behavioural sciences, smart contracts, non discrimination and enforcement.
