Consumer protection law comprises all legal provisions aimed at the protection of natural persons acting in a non professional or commercial way. On the crossroads between the law of obligations, economic law and European Union law, consumer law touches upon unfair commercial practices, abusive clauses and the protection of consumers in e-commerce and other online tranactions. This course will give students an overview of the key concepts and notions of consumer law . Teaching will take place in Dutch.

This additional language module will essentially be geared towards verbal interaction and the reinforcement of oral language skills. It will tackle various language functions such as giving a structured presentation, expressing an opinion and arguing a point.
It will cover law-related topics and vocabulary, without focusing on one specific branch nor on highly technical terminology.
This module will also promote the students' practice of basic grammar structures, in order to improve oral fluency.
