Public interest is a “largely symbolic” , abstract and hard to define category, which takes different forms and appearances in diff erent fields of law. This article will first define what public interest means, according to the author ‘ s understanding, and in relation to consumer protection. Then it will prove, whether Consumer protection can be defined as a self-standing public interest, or should be seen only as a sub-interest, which interweaves with some public interests. The examination will be carried out on three different levels, namely whether consumer protection is manifested as a fundamental principle, a legislative aim or a compelling reason in the case law. To evolve a broader perspective for the research, the investigation will focus on the two most relevant market economy systems, the European and the American markets, with the main focus on the European rules.
