Abstract
One of the major aims of current public consumer policy is to increase the obligations of commercial concerns to provide consumers with information. In contract law, however, this development is only about to begin. In this paper, the situation in French contract law is described. On the basis of general principles of contract law, French courts in their decisions have developed different types of information duties. There are also some more detailed information requirements set down in specific laws and regulations, e.g., as regards the posting of prices. The author comments critically upon the way the legislation has been applied and proposes the introduction of further specific disclosure duties. The provision of information by means of voluntary agreements between consumer organizations and trade associations is another, quite promising solution.
