Consumer Protection and the Louisiana Civil Code

This book brings together in one place all of the state & federal substantive law that governs litigation on consumer contracts in Louisiana. Part I of the book provides an exhaustive treatment of the rules & principles of the Louisiana Civil Code that govern the contract-formation process & the resulting relationships between, respectively, sellers & consumer-buyers, parties to consumer services contracts, & lessors & consumer-lessees. Part II of the book deals with the overlay of federal consumer protection statutes & regulations--including federally-inspired Louisiana statutes--that have grown up in recent years. This part contains discussions of the Truth in Lending Act, the Consumer Product Warranty Act, the FTC Preservation of Consumer Claims & Defenses Rule, & the Louisiana Consumer Credit Law, among other provisions. This book is sure to be of value to any Louisiana practitioner of consumer protection law, to any teacher of the subject, &, above all, to any student of it--whether he is a law student, a practicing attorney, or an interested layman. The book will also be useful to any non-Louisiana attorney or legal scholar who wishes to gain an understanding of fundamental principles of Louisiana contract law, particularly the law of redhibition, which has no exact counterpart in the common-law world.Hersbergen, Ronald L. is the author of 'Consumer Protection and the Louisiana Civil Code' with ISBN 9780940448209 and ISBN 0940448203.
