The Department of Law of the University of Palermo is organising an international conference exploring the evolving role of the consumer right of withdrawal at the intersection of digital markets and environmental sustainability.
The conference will bring together legal, economic, behavioural and market perspectives to discuss issues including overconsumption, online returns, the strategic use of withdrawal rights, nudging, dark patterns, digital fairness and enforcement challenges.
The event is open to academics, researchers, students, legal practitioners and other interested participants. Online participation via Microsoft Teams will also be available.
