Previously in Part 1, I examined consumers' right to sue for an injunction and its economical effect from the viewpoint of the analysis of consumer surplus. In Part 2 this time, I attempt to survey the relevant law system in Japan and how such a system functions in Europe. It is tobe noted that the draft consumer injunctions directive dealt with in this report has not been examined in Japan.
Consumers should be enlightened in order to make this system function effectively. For consumers to be able to utilize this new law system properly and independently, it is important that the questions of home economics and/or consumer education are studied.
The questions of home economics and/or consumer education I proposed are as follows :
1) Education of consumers for obtaining international perspectives; 2) Helping consumers form their individuality and ability; 3) Training consumers to become aware of public interest and justice.
