Exploring the Transposition of the Sale of Goods and Digital Content And Services Directives

European consumer law has undergone transformative shifts with the introduction and subsequent transposition of two landmark directives: the Sale of Goods Directive (Directive (EU) 2019/771; SGD) and the Digital Content and Services Directive (Directive (EU) 2019/770; DCSD). These “twin directives”, together with the Modernisation Directive (Directive (EU) 2019/2161) and the Representative Actions Directive (Directive (EU) 2020/1828), represent a foundational effort to modernise consumer protection law within the European Union, adapting it to the realities of an increasingly digitalised economy. Their implementation into national laws across EU Member States has sparked significant legal, policy, and practical discussions. This double issue of the Collected Papers of Zagreb Law Faculty delves into the complex process of transposing the SGD and DCSD across multiple jurisdictions, featuring in-depth analyses, critiques, and comparative perspectives from selected EU Member States – Ireland, Italy, Slovenia, and Hungary – as well as post-Brexit England and Wales.
