β¦ Synopsis
Greek law only recently has discovered the consumer as an object of protection, Even though there is no specific consumer legislation in Greece, case law and legal writing are becoming concerned with the inferior position of the consumer in the market place and are therefore developing more adequate instruments of protection. EEC legislation forces Greece to reform its law. The paper analyses different areas of law which have been shaped by the consumer impulse, most notably unfair and restrictive trade practices legislation, market regulations, product liability rules, and the prohibition of unfair contract terms. According to the author, implementation in these areas is not quite satisfactory, especially as far as conformity with EEC directives is concerned.
