This Restatement clarifies how the classic principles of contract law embodied in the Restatement of the Law Second, Contracts, have evolved and been applied by courts adjudicating consumer-contract disputes. The principles of fairness and anti-deception that guide regulatory consumer-protection law, to the extent they are consistent with the common law of contracts and the Uniform Commercial Code, are also captured by the Restatement.
