Overview

Prof. Dr. Joasia Luzak is a full Professor in Private Law, the Director of the Centre for European Legal Studies (CELS) and Director of Global Engagement for the Law School. The latter role means she is part of the executive of the department. She was interim Head of the Law School July 2022 - April 2023.

She is also a Guest Associate Professor at the Amsterdam Centre for Transformative Private Law (ACT) (previously Centre for the Study of European Contract Law - CSECL) at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. In December 2015 she has been awarded funding within the Open Research Area (ORA) to a 3-year project led by her: “The ABC of Online Disclosure Duties: Towards a More Uniform Assessment of the Transparency of Consumer Information in Europe” (see more under Research). 

Previously, she was an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Private Law A of the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands (2008-2016). At this university, as of 2015, she was a Deputy Director of the Centre for the Study of European Contract Law, as well as the Director of the European Private Law LL.M program. She has also coordinated master thesis process in three private law LL.Ms (2012-2015). She has joined Exeter's Law School in 2016 as an Associate Professor (until August 2021).

She holds a PhD in Law (2011) from the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands (book available here). She obtained her LL.M degree in Law cum laude at the University of Warsaw, Poland (2004). She also graduated with distinction from a two-year course on English and European Law co-organized by Cambridge and Warsaw Universities (2003).

She was a Visiting Professor at the Center for Transnational Legal Studies in London (2013); at the University of Houston Law Center, United States (2014); and at the International Hellenic University, Thessaloniki, Greece (2014-2016). 

Prof. Joasia Luzak is one of the editors of the Journal of European Consumer and Market Law (EuCML) (as of 2016), as well as of the Dutch Tijdschrift voor Consumentenrecht & handelspraktijken (TvC) (as of 2018) and sits on the editorial board of the Journal of Consumer Policy (JCP) (as of 2016).

She has participated in many projects of the European Commission, of the European Parliament and of the European Consumer Organization (BEUC). She was part of the consortiums working on the “Economic study on consumer digital content products” and on the “Study on consumers’ attitudes towards terms and conditions” for the European Commission (both finalized in 2015). She has also drafted the Polish report for the "Study for the fitness check of EU consumer and marketing law" (2016), as well as is preparing the Dutch report for the "Compliance assessment of the Directive 2015/2302/EU on package travel and linked travel arrangements" (2019), both commissioned by the European Commission. She has co-written the report for the European Parliament on the need to "Update the Unfair Contract Terms directive for digital services" (2021). Most recently (2022-2023), she was advising the European Commission on the 'Study to support the Commission's policy development on promoting repair of consumer goods and contracts in the data economy' and 'Behavioural study on the assessment of a lawbot assisting consumers on online dispute resolution'.

Research

  • Consumer law
  • Internet law
  • Contract law
  • Digital markets
  • Sustainability and private law
  • Consumer behaviour

Within the Open Research Area (ORA) funding scheme 2015 the funding was awarded, among others, to a project led by dr Joasia Luzak on “The ABC of Online Disclosure Duties: Towards a More Uniform Assessment of the Transparency of Consumer Information in Europe”. Total budget for this 3-year project (extended due to Covid-19) was ca 465.000 Euro and allowed to conduct comparative and empirical legal research in Germany, the Netherlands, Croatia, England and Poland.

When European consumers buy, e.g., a computer online, the European legislator requires them to receive “clear and comprehensive” information about the trader’s option to store, process and share their data (ePrivacy Directive). Subsequently, they need to receive “clear and comprehensible” information “in clear and intelligible language” on the purchase conditions, such as their right of withdrawal or the computer´s characteristics (Consumer Rights Directive). Moreover, if they purchase the computer on credit, they need to receive “clear and concise” information on the credit terms (Consumer Credit Directive). Although EU law requires information disclosures like these to be transparent, it does not establish what counts as clear, comprehensive, intelligible or concise online disclosure. As it provides no yardstick for assessing transparency, it leaves a gap that national enforcement authorities (NEA) may fill differently.

The research aims to develop European guidelines that NEA should apply to uniformly assess the transparency of disclosures. These guidelines will be drafted on the basis of insights gained from conducting: a) comparative legal research illustrating when a given disclosure is currently assessed as transparent by NEA; b) empirical legal research determining the desired and applied criteria for the transparency’s assessment.

Supervision

I am interested in superivsing thesis in the broad field of consumer law (unfair contract terms; unfair commercial practices; travel contracts; online contracts; sustainable consumption; consumer dispute resolution; platform economy, etc.), especially if students aim to use empirical methodology or include interdisciplinary elements, e.g. by drawing from the consumer behaviour research insights.
