I examined consumers' right to sue for an injunction and its economical effect.
The results are as follows :
1) Consumers' right to sue for an injunction is not recognized in Japan.
2) The acts of unfair competition decrease the social surplus as well as the consumers' surplus.
3) Exercising his or her right to sue for an injunction, a consumer can protect the profit of society.
4) The system of consumers' right to sue for an injunction is related to education and home economics because the system calls for consumers' fair judgment and action.
