| Title | SELECTED ISSUES OF ONLINE CONSUMER PROTECTION LAW IN THE UNITED STATES, THE EUROPEAN UNION AND BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA. A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS |
| Summary | Although the main principle in the contract law is that contracts should be respected, under specific circumstances in consumer contracts, there is a possibility of deviation from the principle. Since consumer is a weaker party, in the online environment he is given three basic rights which are the right of withdrawal, the right of information and the protection against the unfair contract terms. The objective of the thesis is to compare their regulation in the European Union and the United States in order to see if results of the comparison can influence the improvement of Bosnian and Herzegovinian legislation. The method which is used is the functional method of comparative law. It will be shown that the solution of US system provided for clear communication of the information could be easily implemented in the Statute of Consumer Protection of B&H. The Statute is harmonized to certain extent with EU legislation, however some of the provisions were integrated in ambiguous manner. Moreover, some of them were not properly translated in the process of transposition. Therefore, it is highly recommended that the amendment of specific articles takes place. |
