The cases involve such activities as the sale of a Monet painting by an unsuspecting old lady, the misrepresentation by an art gallery claiming "few restorations" on a statuette when in fact there were many, and a hastily signed contract by a consumer for a pan that would not work on her type of stove, among others. The editor offers a final chapter with comparative conclusions. This is the fifth volume in a series devoted to the case- description methodology undertaken by the Common Core of European Private Law project begun in 1993 at the U. of Trento.
