January often prompts reflection on our festive spending and those irresistible January sales. Behind every “limited time offer,” flash discount, and product review lies a web of legal principles that govern the digital marketplace. To explore this fascinating intersection of law and everyday life, we are spotlighting a recent podcast featuring consumer law specialist Jen Dinmore (Lewis Silkin), recorded in collaboration with AllAboutLaw.
In this episode, Jen examines the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act (DMCC) 2024, a landmark piece of legislation transforming how online businesses operate in the UK. The discussion delves into issues such as drip pricing, misleading reviews, and other tactics designed to influence consumer decisions - practices many of us encounter without realising their legal implications.
For law students, this is an excellent opportunity to see how legal frameworks translate into real-world regulation and enforcement. Whether your interests lie in consumer protection, digital regulation, or commercial law, this podcast offers valuable insights into how the law responds to evolving online markets.
