Critique
Dr. Fabienne Diekmann's dissertation was described as follows by Dr. Anja Laudien in the review “Rundschau für Fleischhygiene und Lebensmittelüberwachung”, RFL July 2012:
“This book constitutes a detailed dissertation on the concept of the consumer model - and not only in terms of health. First the differences in the consumer model in European and German jurisdiction are discussed, along with the development thereof. The influence of the relevant consumer model on court rulings is discussed using examples of resolutions made by the European Court of Justice and German Federal Court of Justice. Here it already becomes clear to the reader that there is not just one average consumer. This becomes even clearer in the subsequent presentation of different consumer models that are applied in the food, medicine and pesticide sectors. The book is not always entirely easy to read for those without legal expertise, but nevertheless opens up new insights into the basis for decisions made by the courts in the field of consumer protection. Perhaps it will also contribute towards forming an independent argument in terms of consumer protection in a more expedient manner.”
