Shopify, the multinational e-commerce business, has committed to making several revisions to its online platform to make online shopping safer for customers. These improvements, in line with EU law, come after dialogues with the European Commission and the Consumer Protection Cooperation Network (CPC). Shopify has committed to designing templates for the web shop's contact pages, providing clear guidance to traders on applicable EU consumer law and providing company details about any EU trader when requested by the CPC authority. Shopify has arranged to take down the web shops breaching consumer laws and provide the relevant company details to consumer authorities.

A grocer, who failed to adduce any witness evidence from his staff to support his assertion that he had a reasonable system for clearing up dropped fruit, has failed to overturn a finding of negligence against him on behalf of a customer who slipped on a grape and fell whilst visiting his shop.
