ARCHIVED: This Practice Note has been archived and is not maintained.

This Practice Note is for use when determining Applicable law where the contract was entered into on or after 1 January 2021.

For contracts entered into before 1 January 2021, a different applicable law regime will be applied by the UK courts. Which regime is applied will depend on the date on which the contract was entered into. For guidance on the different regimes and their interrelationship, see Practice Note: Applicable law regimes.

This Practice Note refers to UK Rome I, Regulation (EC) 593/2008. Originally known as Retained Rome I, since 1 January 2024, it is known as Assimilated Rome I—the change is to the name only and not the provisions within the regulation. Authorities may refer to the regulation using either name and so, for ease of reference, the regulation is referred to as UK Rome I in this Practice Note. For information on assimilated law, see Practice Note: Assimilated law.

This Practice Note considers Consumer contracts in Article 6(1)

What does Consumer mean?

A consumer is a person acting outside the context of a trade, business or profession, but the definition takes different meanings depending on the context in which it is used. Therefore it is important to check the relevant law or regulation such as the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (CRA 2015), the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977, the Sale of Goods Act 1979.
