Book Review: Consumer Credit Act 2006

Consumer Credit Act 2006: A Guide to the New Law (The Law Society, 2006) by Julia Smith and Sandra McCalla
Someone once said that the only thing that you need to understand about the law on consumer credit is that you will never understand it. Thankfully this book disproves that suggestion. It provides a clear and refreshingly accessible guide to the new Act which is the most significant change to the law on consumer credit in the last 30 years. In particular, it covers the new powers which the courts will have to redress the balance in 'unfair relationships' and the extension of powers of the financial ombudsman and the OFT. Highly recommended for all those practising in or affected by this area.
