Abstract

The purpose of legislators when organizing contractual relations, especially in the consumption contracts, is consumer protection. Because Consumption contracts are more contractual relations in which the imbalance is reflected in the positions between its parties; where the consumer encounters more experienced party, knowledge and ability. The British law is one of the laws that have adopted a consistent policy to protect consumers from abusive conditions in consumer contracts Inaddition, and that the English judicial system had an important role to counter abusive conditions in consumer contracts through case law. So, the question arises about the role of the judicial system and legislation in England to face unfair terms in consumption contracts
