OECD Digital Economy Papers
The OECD Directorate for Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) undertakes a wide range of activities to better understand how information and communication technologies (ICTs) contribute to sustainable economic growth and social well-being. The OECD Digital Economy Papers series covers a broad range of ICT-related issues and makes selected studies available to a wider readership. They include policy reports, which are officially declassified by an OECD Committee, and occasional working papers, which are meant to share early knowledge.

OECD Workshop on Consumer Dispute Resolution and Redress in the Global Marketplace
Background Report
This report presents an overview of OECD member country frameworks for consumer dispute resolution
and redress. Part I focuses on the different mechanisms that have been put in place to respond to the varying
nature and characteristics of consumer disputes including: internal complaints handling processes; payment
cardholder protections; alternative dispute resolution; small claims courts; private collective action lawsuits;
legal actions by consumer associations; and government obtained redress. Part II examines the impediments to
ensuring that monetary judgments for consumers in cross-border cases ultimately result in compensation to
consumers. The report aims to identify the elements of effective domestic frameworks for consumer dispute
resolution and redress, examine how these frameworks can better address cross-border cases, and consider how
increased international cooperation could improve the effectiveness of judicial remedies across-borders.
