Consumer Law As Tax Alternative, Rory Van Loo
Consumer Law As Tax Alternative, Rory Van Loo
Faculty Scholarship
Policymakers and scholars have in distributional conversations traditionally ignored consumer laws. Tax law dominates distributional conversations partly because legal rules are seen as less efficient and partly because consumer law research speaks to narrow and siloed contexts. Even millions of dollars in reduced credit card fees seem trivial compared to the trillion-dollar growth in income inequality that has sparked concern in recent decades. This Article is the first to synthesize the fragmented studies quantifying inefficiently higher consumer prices across diverse markets — called overcharge. These studies indicate that laws reducing overcharge could make a substantial reduction in inequality. Moreover, this …

"Weightier Than A Mountain": Duty, Hierarchy, And The Consumer In Japan, Anita Bernstein, Paul Fanning
"Weightier Than A Mountain": Duty, Hierarchy, And The Consumer In Japan, Anita Bernstein, Paul Fanning
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The authors analyze the 1994 Japanese products liability law from a national-culture perspective. After examining the historical backdrop of the consumer's social role in both the United States and Japan, the authors argue that the new law cannot create a strict liability system like that of the United States in Japan, because the unique Japanese cultural context and its manipulation discourage the use of the legal process to advance consumer interests.
Consumer Redress Through Alternative Dispute Resolution And Small Claims Court: Theory And Practice, David S. Cohen
Consumer Redress Through Alternative Dispute Resolution And Small Claims Court: Theory And Practice, David S. Cohen
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
There are significant difficulties in providing consumers with redress because dispute resolution costs are high relative to the sums being sought. Consumers also manifest a reluctance to enter legal processes for other reasons. This prompted the creation of user-friendly small claims courts and encouraged the discussion and sometimes the use of non-judicial, alternative dispute resolution forums for addressing consumer redress. This paper explores the theoretical and practical distinction between these two types of dispute resolution forums. The practical differences are examined on the basis of observation of both types of forums and discussions with practitioners of alternative dispute resolution.

Consumer Law Developments: A Note On The Impact Of Recent Federal Legislation In Nova Scotia, Hugh M. Kindred
Consumer Law Developments: A Note On The Impact Of Recent Federal Legislation In Nova Scotia, Hugh M. Kindred
Dalhousie Law Journal
Two years have passed since the previous comment on consumer law in this journal but surprisingly little provincial development has taken place. Consequently, this note will chiefly highlight the particular impact of changes in federal law for Nova Scotians. Provincial Activity In 1975 important additions were made to the Consumer Protection Act that were the subject of comment at the time.1 This impression of momentum created by the new department responsible for consumer affairs has disappointingly been lost. In the interim the minister has been raised to full cabinet rank and his responsibilities widened, but little reformatory legislation has been …
