Abstract
The paper explores the specifics of conflict regulation of consumer relations in a digital environment. To this end, the author analyzes the criteria for the direction of the professional activities to the consumer’s residence country, which enshrined in the law of the Russian Federation and the European Union. Its presence determines the use of special conflict protection in respect of both the consumer and the professional party, endowed with the ability to foresee the use of these protective conflict mechanisms. The author formulates proposals to clarify the content and scope of this criterion. On the one hand, its purpose is to protect the consumer from the state applying an unfavorable right to him, on the other, to establish a reasonable degree of predictability with respect to the professional party applying the right of consumer’s residence and the establishment of judicial jurisdiction.
