Consumers are protected by a raft of legislation when buying from retailers. This aims to shield consumers from unfair treatment at the hands of businesses using non-negotiable fixed form contracts. In order to determine how best to protect yourself as a retailer, it is important to understand the nature of consumer rights. The Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations apply to any term in a consumer contract which has not been individually negotiated. A term is "unfair" where it causes significant imbalance between the parties to the detriment of the consumer in a way that is contrary to the requirement of good faith. To protect your rights, your standard terms must also give due regard to your customers' interests and strike a balance of obligations. Where you do so and go furthe...

Before World War I, most foreign investment in Latin America came from Britain. By World War II, however, the United States had become the main and unchallenged foreign investor in the region. This analysis of the negotiations that took place between the British firm (Pearson and Son) and the Colombian government over oil contracts reveals the reasons for the shift in influence. The company's lack of awareness that Britain had been overtaken by the United States as the hegemonic power in the hemisphere eventually caused the negotiations to collapse. While talks were proceeding, the company failed to consider how much influence the United States had on Colombian internal politics, and it overlooked the history of U.S.-Colombia relations. As a result, Pearson never received oil concession...
