OverviewContract and the Australian Consumer Law analyses the way the Australian Consumer Law has modified contract law. In particular, provisions in the Australian Consumer Law in relation to consumer guarantees for goods and services, unfair contract terms, misleading or deceptive conduct and unconscionable conduct are considered and analysed. The book discusses recent cases on these topics and extracts guiding principles from the legislation and the cases.\n\nThe text is intended to be read from cover to cover so as to present a birdseye view on the operation of the legislation in the context of contract law.\n\nWith a foreword by the Hon Justice Julie Ward of the Supreme Court of New South Wales, who describes the text as eminently readable with a coherent and focused analysis, the book is a must have for all practitioners of commercial law including construction law, property law and all forms of contractual disputes, as well as law students.

Remedies IndexReviewsIt is suggested on the back cover of Contract and the Australian Consumer Law that it is intended to be read from cover to cover ... I did just that. It is a refreshing read by Emeritus Professor John Carter and Laina Chan about a very dull topic. The Australian Consumer Law reads as though it had been written by some demonic anarchist dreamt up by Evelyn Waugh. It is very long, and full of words that do not bear their ordinary meaning. Statutory liabilities are referred to as guarantees although they are nothing of the sort. Consumers include companies which are not consumers. A contract with a consumer is not necessarily a consumer contract . Things are defined as warranties when they are not even contractual terms, let alone warranties. Quite how the authors of this book managed to maintain their sanity whilst surveying this awful scene is a mystery. But we should be grateful to them. Their gentle mockery of the legislation turns out to be rather helpful in getting to grips with it. At 162 pages, it is a short book, and all the more useful for that. Thoroughly recommended. - Robert Fenwick Elliott, Construction Law Barrister; International Member of Keating Chambers Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
