Jurisdiction in Consumer Contracts - A Bite-Sized Guide to the Key Provisions

Introduction

In an increasingly globalised market and with the never-ending growth of international trade and e-commerce, the regulation of consumer contracts to protect individual consumers is more important than ever.

It is essential that litigators and those advising both traders, and consumers, have a grasp on the key provisions as to jurisdiction within consumer contracts; both to ensure that traders are not caught out by statutory exceptions and exemptions, but also that consumers can take advantage of the most beneficial consumer protections across jurisdictions.

This short webinar will provide a brief overview and assessment of the key provisions of the regulation of the jurisdiction of consumer contracts where the consumer is based in England and Wales but the trader and/or the contract seeks to assert an alternative jurisdiction.

It is suitable for litigators and local authority lawyers.
