20.500.12556/DKUM-94514 Consumer contract law and the sustainability goals in Slovenia any room for improvement? Consumer contract law and the sustainability goals in Slovenia: any room for improvement? The Sale of Goods Directive and the Digital Content and Services Directive were transposed into the Slovene legal system with the new Consumer Protection Act in 2022. This contribution assesses whether and how sustainability goals have been internalised in consumer contract law and policy in Slovenia, particularly in the context of the changes introduced with the Sale of Goods Directive. It focuses on remedies for non-conformity of goods and services, while also examining the obligatory guarantee for technical products, which is a distinctive measure found in the Consumer Protection Act. The current state of play heavily relies on an awareness-raising model and the empowered, eco-friendly consumer, who is expected to purchase eco-friendly goods and resort to eco-friendly remedies in cases of non-conformity. These measures could be further strengthened by encouraging repair and self-repair, supporting replacement with refurbished goods, and extending guarantee periods to promote the production of more durable goods. The contribution identifies the obligatory guarantee as the most sustainability-friendly concept in Slovenian consumer sales law. In particular, it governs repair as the primary remedy and includes provisions on the availability of spare parts and access to repair services. This framework could serve as a model for the system of remedies for non-conforming goods at the EU level. Direktiva o kupoprodaji robe i Direktiva o digitalnom sadržaju i uslugama prenesene su u slovenski pravni sustav novim Zakonom o zaštiti potrošača 2022. godine. Ovaj rad ocjenjuje jesu li i kako ciljevi održivosti internalizirani u potrošačko ugovorno pravo i politiku u Sloveniji, posebice u kontekstu promjena koje je uvela Direktiva o kupoprodaji robe. Rad se usredotočuje na pravna sredstva za neusklađenost robe i usluga, a također ispituje obvezno komercijalno jamstvo za tehničke proizvode kao posebnu mjeru sadržanu u Zakonu o zaštiti potrošača. Trenutačno stanje se uvelike oslanja na model podizanja svijesti i osnaženog, ekološki osviještenog potrošača, od kojeg se očekuju kupovanje ekološki prihvatljive robe i uporaba ekološki prihvatljivih pravnih sredstava u slučajevima neusklađenosti. Te bi se mjere mogle dodatno ojačati poticanjem popravka i samopopravka, podupiranjem zamjene obnovljenom robom i produljenjem jamstvenih rokova kako bi se potaknula proizvodnja trajnijih proizvoda. Rad prepoznaje obvezno komercijalno jamstvo kao najprikladniji koncept za održivost u slovenskom pravu potrošačke kupoprodaje. Konkretno, uređenje obvezne garancije u slovenskom pravu predviđa popravak kao primarno pravno sredstvo te sadržava odredbe o dostupnosti rezervnih dijelova i pristupu uslugama popravka. Taj bi pravni okvir mogao poslužiti kao model za sustav pravnih sredstava za neusklađenu robu na razini EU-a consumer contract law sustainability durability legal remedies repair obligatory guarantee potrošniško pogodbeno pravo trajnostnost trajnost pravna sredstva popravilo obvezna garancija true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2025-08-20 03:18:41 2025-08-21 12:56:56 2025-08-26 03:17:04 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 str. 943-964 br. 5/6 Vol. 74 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2024-01-01 347.441.842:004.7/.8(497.4) 221387011 10.3935/zpfz.74.56.10 0350-2058 https://hrcak.srce.hr/326404 1 9c39378f-7d63-11f0-a14c-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=195674 09_Zbornik_PFZG_vol._74_no._5-6_2024_-_Weingerl_(1).pdf 09_Zbornik_PFZG_vol._74_no._5-6_2024_-_Weingerl_(1).pdf 1 AC683C8F84A6E07E6CC8F582801C707C a024ba723c3ea5941d2526eb0894c2aa83c5542c883a6241e14d3f9318e407de 89213f72-7e7d-11f0-9610-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=195821 Pravna fakulteta 0 0 0
