Unfair Contract Terms Law in Australia by Jeannie Marie Paterson Pdf

This new and timely work provides up-to-date and detailed analysis of the new Unfair Contract Terms Law (UCTL) that was introduced as part of the Australian Consumer Law reforms of 2010, and which took effect in each state and territory from 1 January 2011. The UCTL represents a radical change in consumer protection law and in contract law. In Unfair Contract Terms Law in Australia experienced author and senior lecturer Dr Jeannie Paterson explains the operation of the UCTL and considers the implications for standard boilerplate terms in consumer contracts. The work also examines the background to the reforms and utilises precedents drawn from similar regimes that have operated in Victoria and the UK. UNFAIR CONTRACT TERMS IN AUSTRALIA will be highly useful for litigation purposes and compliance work. It will appeal to competition, consumer and commercial solicitors and barristers as well as regulators involved in drafting, reviewing and enforcing standard form consumer contracts. Traders dealing with consumers will find this work invaluable as they review their contracts to ensure compliance with the legislation. UNFAIR CONTRACT TERMS IN AUSTRALIA is a vital resource for the adjustment to, and ongoing compliance with, the new law.

Unconscionable Conduct by Paul T. Vout Pdf

Unconscionable Conduct - The Laws of Australia (2nd Edition) provides revised and up-to-date analysis of estoppel, duress, undue influence, misrepresentation, unconscionability, unconscionable dealing and now includes commentary on the principles of equitable mistake by Professor JLR Davis. In so doing, it offers practitioners a unique and in-depth understanding of the equitable, legal and legislative grounds upon which commercial transactions may be set aside for unfair conduct. The 1st edition was praised as a "highly reliable book [that] will earn its place on the shelf of any practitioner in the area" (ACT Law Society - Ethos, 2006) and "a superb and, especially given the qualifications of its many original and updating authors, an authoritative reference book" (Trade Practices Law Journal, 2006). This new edition covers the latest developments in case law such as the New South Wales Court of Appeal's decision on duress in Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd v Karam (2005) 64 NSWLR 149 and its application in Maher v Honeysett and Maher Electrical Contractors Pty Ltd [2007] NSWSC 12; discussion of the relationship between contract and estoppel in Donis v Donis [2007] VSCA 89 and Barnes v Alderton [2008] NSWSC 107; and the implications of the Victorian Court of Appeal decision in Accurate Financial Consultants Pty Ltd v Koko Black Pty Ltd (2008) 66 ACSR 325. Also considered are new legislative developments such as those affecting independent contractor relationships under the Independent Contractors Act 2006 (Cth) and the statutory extension of unconscionable conduct under the Retail Leases Act 2003 (Vic). This material is also published as part of Titles 7 "Contract: General Principles" and 35 "Unfair Dealing" of The Laws of Australia legal encyclopaedia.
