In this seminar we will explore the idea of digital fairness. We will discuss: 
-    The European Commission’s 2022 Fitness Check of EU consumer law on digital fairness and its (expected) legislative proposals; 
-    The place of fairness as a legal concept in EU consumer law acquis, in particular the Unfair Contract Terms Directive 1993, and the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive (2005, 2019) and the CJEU’s interpretation;
-    The difference between online and offline fairness (digital as opposed to what, analogue?);
-    Fairness and personalisation: can and should fairness be personalised, and is algorithmic personalisation fair?
-    Digital fairness as a legal standard (or open-textured legal concept) and related about legal certainty, judicial arbitrariness, and judicial (over)empowerment;
-    Whether digital fairness should be understood as procedural or substantive fairness (or both);
-    The link (if any) between digital fairness and (historical and contemporary) fair price theories; 
-    The relationship between digital fairness in EU consumer and fairness discourses in other fields of EU law and market regulation, in particular the DSA;
-    How digital fairness as a value or normative objective relates to personal and political morality.
