Unveiling Italy’s Law on Consumer Rights 2014 – An Analytical Review

Summary:

Italy's Law on Consumer Rights 2014 aims to modernize and harmonize existing legal frameworks, focusing on contracts and online purchases. Key features include the right to withdraw from purchases within 14 days, transparency requirements, outlawing unfair commercial practices, and protection for digital content. While timely and relevant, the law's scope may be limited compared to the 2005 Consumer Code, and there is room for improving enforcement mechanisms to ensure better compliance. Overall, the law represents a significant advance in consumer protections, particularly in online shopping and digital content.
