  • Headnote
    The article focuses on the relationship between code of conducts, self-regulation and unfair commercial practices in Italy.

    In particular, the author compares the ideal system encouraged by the UCP Directive, consisting of encouragement of control by self-regulatory bodies over unfair commercial practices with the aim of limiting the number of administrative proceedings and/or judicial litigations. The author highlights that in practice, in Italy, self-regulation plays no substantial role in the application of unfair commercial practice law regime.
