Reddy Charlton co-author book on Business Law

Reddy Charlton has particular expertise in relation to the distribution and sale of goods, at retail and wholesale level. Because of this expertise, Elaine McGrath and Paul Keane were asked to contribute to the Business Law Manual just published by Oxford University Press.

Elaine and Paul were responsible for the chapter on consumer law. This chapter deals with the law, both domestic and EU, relating to sale of goods, the supply of services and related issues.

Elaine’s contribution focuses on the application of EU directives in Irish law including the Unfair Terms Regulations, Liability for Defective Products, Product Safety Regulations and the regulations dealing with the cancellation of contracts negotiated away from business premises. This is a rapidly changing part of the law. The EU has recently published a new directive in this area.

If you require any assistance in relation to consumer  issues or in relation to the sale goods, please contact Elaine Mc Grath, Partner in our business department on 01 6619500 or emcgrath@reddycharlton.ie.
