Summary
In 2017 the Max Planck Institute Luxembourg completed a study on the impact of national procedural laws on mutual trust and on consumer protection. The study embodies the most comprehensive, empirically-driven comparative investigation of civil procedure in Europe to date. It identifies areas where targeted measures would increase mutual trust as well as consumer protection, and expounds concrete proposals – some of which have already been taken up by the European Commission – to overcome the current obstacles to effective judicial cooperation and consumer protection.
