The Consumer Rights Directive has been a long time coming, and it's very welcome. For more information on what it does, see here: http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAct ... &type=HTML

I wonder if it covered this kind of wording and configuration:
[ ] I do not want to give you an extra £100
(I bet it does, but the news reports I have been reading give them impression that it doesn’t by virtue of not explaining it properly)

I wonder how this would apply if organ donation became opt-out.
Only a thought as this ban supposedly covers commercial sites only.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Directives are useless, whats needed are European regulation. Directives can give too much wiggle room and too much is left to interpretation by the member states in its implementation. _________________Finally joined Flickr

Member states having room to interpret is a good thing.
The sooner this directive is brought into UK law the better.

I dated a girl who worked in the department responsible for checking the member states interpretations. Apparently it's a linguistic nightmare. Most English people can't understand English legal spiel, so imagine what it's like when it's been translated a few times... _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly."

that's why regulations in this case would be better as each regulation has only one mother tongue interpretation. Which means if there's a dispute you go back to the original. _________________Finally joined Flickr
