Abstract
This paper examines several dimensions of obsolescence applied to consumer law, with a particular focus on consumer law. The extent to which consumer law in general might be obsolete is test by examining its scope of application, its underlying rationale, and its evolution as a derogation from general contract law. A second dimension is obsolescence within substantive consumer law rules, and several examples are considered. Finally, as a result of withdrawing from the EU, the UK has created a situation in which there is a real risk that
consumer law could become obsolete through inadvertence. It has already fallen behind areas addressed in EU consumer law, and measures adopted in light of Brexit could inadvertently lead to the loss of existing consumer law provisions.
