Recapitulation
Ireland's new Consumer Rights Act which came into force on 29th November 2022 represents the most significant reform of Irish consumer law in over four decades. The new legislation transposes key EU measures such as Directive 2019/771 (the Consumer Sales Directive), Directive 2019/770 (the Digital Content and Services Directive) and Directive 2019/2161 (the Modernisation Directive). The Act also consolidates and modernises the law, integrating EU and domestic measures and taking account of the changes brought about by the digital transformation. The new legislation marks a fundamental change in the culture of Irish consumer law, moving it further away from the common law tradition and towards European law values and principles. This will have profound implications for the interpretation and application of Irish consumer law into the future. This article discusses these implications along with the important substantive matters relating to the new law.
