The Court has provided guidance on the limits of the scope of the UCPD in relation to the concept of commercial practices in the Kirschstein case. It held that there is a difference between the trader’s ‘commercial practices’ that are closely linked to the promotion and sale or supply of products to consumers, hence caught by the Directive, and rules to which those practices refer, that relate to the ‘product’ itself (e.g. authorisation of service providers that can issue university degrees) and which therefore do fall outside the UCPD’ scope of application.
