Period
2nd lecture period (2B) dal Apr 3, 2023 al May 23, 2023.
Learning objectives
This course is included in the learning area on Internationalization of the markets. It aims at offering students full knowledge of the internal and EU regulatory framework concerning consumer law in the context of market innovation, under the pressure, in particular, of new technologies, and with attention also to the provisions governing B2B relations insofar they are set forth to regulate the distribution chains of goods intended for final consumers.
The different regulatory sources will be studied in depth in order to allow the learning of the essential notions both from a substantive point of view and from the perspective of remedies, including administrative and judicial, for the protection of consumers and weak entrepreneurs.
At the end of the course, the student will have acquired the ability to formulate, autonomously and critically, complex judgments and arguments on the main topics covered by the course.
Students will also acquire the ability to face and solve practical problems typical of the professional context in which they will operate, thus orienting their competence to the goal of contractual compliance and to the prevention of the judicial conflicts. Students will also be able to verify the practical and applicative consequences of the theoretical and regulatory framework and to set, in written and oral form (and also through group work, written exercises and the method of Problem Based Solving - PBS), the solution to concrete issues, using the appropriate and specific disciplinary vocabulary, adopting the correct lines of reasoning and argumentation, and formulating autonomous judgments. The teaching method used is functional to the continuous learning and updating of acquired knowledge.
