The 14th International Association of Consumer Law will be held in Sydney, Australia at the University of Sydney in the first week of July 2013.
The theme of the conference is diversity.
This can encompass the diversity of consumers who require protection, the
diversity of regulatory approaches, the diversity of products and services.
The organisers are keen to attract papers from a wide range of jurisdictions,
and on a wide range of services and goods including telecommunications and
utilities as well as financial services and others.
This is a cool time of year in Sydney but it is a perfect time for international
visitors who may also wish to visit central or northern Australia.
Keep watching for the formal call for papers and more details.
For those involved in forward planning we expect the registration charge
to be about $600 inclusive.
The International Association of Consumer Law exists in order to develop research networks and stimulate research and common project work in the area of consumer law and policy and consumer relations, covering all regions of the world.
Co-operation between government institutions, universities, consumer organisations and individual experts is supported, in order to develop research and teaching of consumer law.
L'Association Internationale de Droit de la Consommation est née de la volonté de créer des liens en développant une réflexion et des actions de recherche communes sur l'évolution des rapports de consommation et leur formalisation juridique dans différentes régions du monde.
La coopération entre institutions, universités, organisations de consommateurs et experts est souhaitée en vue de permettre et encourager la recherche et l'enseignement relevant du droit de la consommation.
