The members of The American Law Institute will consider Tentative Draft No. 2 of the Restatement of the Law, Consumer Contracts at the 2022 Annual Meeting. The Restatement, Tentative Draft No. 1, was considered at the 2019 Annual Meeting. As the Reporters state in their Reporters’ Memorandum for TD No. 2, since the 2019 Annual Meeting, the Reporters have considered the motions and comments made in connection with the 2019 Annual Meeting and subsequent court decisions, comments, articles, blogs, and other sources of input. Tentative Draft No. 2 adopts and implements a wide array of those contributions.

The table here identifies key changes made to the black letter since the 2019 Annual Meeting. There are also a few observations referring to the Comments.

Emphasis has been added to direct attention to relevant words. The markings do not show changes from earlier drafts.
