Description
Die Arbeit untersucht das Verhältnis von Verbraucherschiedsgerichtsbarkeit zu Mitteln des kollektiven Rechtsschutzes im U.S.-Recht (zur 'Class Action') und im deutschen Recht (insbesondere zur Abhilfeklage nach dem Verbraucherrechtedurchsetzungsgesetz). Ferner wird der Rechtsrahmen der Verbraucherschiedsgerichtsbarkeit im deutschen sowie im EU-Recht untersucht und werden Ansätze entwickelt, wie das von beiden Rechtsordnungen anerkannte System weiterentwickelt werden könnte. »Consumer Arbitration and Collective Redress. On the Relationship between Consumer Arbitration and Collective Redress in German and U.S. Law«: The thesis examines the relationship between consumer arbitration and collective redress mechanisms in U.S. (class actions) and German law (in particular, the newly enacted action for relief under the German Consumer Rights Enforcement Act (Verbraucherrechtedurchsetzungsgesetz)). It also examines the legal framework for consumer arbitration in German and EU law and develops approaches for how the system recognized by both legal systems can be developed further.
