234.In 2010, BIS commissioned a report, entitled ‘Consolidation and Simplification of UK Consumer Law(28)’ to examine how existing consumer law might be consolidated and simplified to make it more accessible to consumers, business and their advisers. That report recommended that consumer contract law would be improved if many of the provisions could be brought together into a single consumer contract law that, so far as appropriate, subjected all consumer supply contracts to the same rights and remedies. The report recommended that this be done using simpler language, such as avoiding specialist legal language including references to ‘implied terms’. The report suggested that remedies for services should be made clearer and more accessible by incorporating them into the legislation.
The report was authored by Professor Geraint Howells and Professor Christian Twigg-Flesner available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/31838/10-1255-consolidation-simplification-uk-consumer-law.pdfBack [1]
