Sažetak
Godina 2022. bila je značajna za europske pravnike specijalizirane za potrošačko pravo jer su odredbe Direktive (EU) 2019/771 o kupoprodaji robe, Direktive (EU) 2019/770 o digitalnom sadržaju i digitalnim uslugama te Omnibus Direktive (EU) 2019/2161 morale stupiti na snagu. Ovaj rad ispituje izazove transponiranja tih Direktiva u common law poretke, u kojima je potrošačko pravo, barem u segmentu kupoprodaje robe, uhodana kombinacija zakonskih odredbi i sudske prakse. U radu se uspoređuju dva common law poretka s jakim povijesnim vezama: irsko pravo nakon transponiranja direktiva te pravo Engleske i Walesa u kojemu nakon Brexita direktive nisu transponirane. Proučavanjem irskog prava uočavaju se izazovi transponiranja, uključujući kako uklopiti pravo EU-a u postojeće pravne strukture te osigurati svjesnost potrošača o svojim pravima dok se mijenjaju ukorijenjene poslovne prakse. Ti će se izazovi vjerojatno pojaviti u svim državama članicama. Transponiranje stoga nameće i pitanja pravnog razvoja, posebice kako promijeniti pravnu (i poslovnu) kulturu u državama članicama EU-a.

Summary
2022 was a significant year for European consumer lawyers with the provisions of the Sale of Goods Directive (EU) 2019/771, Digital Content and Digital Services Directive (EU) 2019/770 and the Omnibus Directive (EU) 2019/2161 all required to come into force. This paper examines the challenges of transposing these Directives into common law jurisdictions where, in relation to sale of goods law at least, consumer law is a mixture of well-established statutory material and case-law authority. It contrasts the implementation of the Directives in Ireland with their non-transposition in post-Brexit England and Wales, two common law systems with strong historical ties. Examining Irish law, we see the challenges of transposition, including how to fit EU law into established legal structures and to ensure that consumers are aware of their rights while changing engrained business practices. These challenges are likely to arise in all Member States. Transposition raises questions, therefore, of legal development, not least how to change legal (and business) cultures in EU Member States.
