Contract and the Australian consumer law

This book 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 text discusses recent cases on these topics and extracts guiding principles from the legislation and the cases. The 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. Contents: Chapter 1 Introduction Chapter 2 Consumer Guarantees Regime Chapter 3 Exclusion Clauses Chapter 4 Liability of Manufacturers Chapter 5 Misleading or Deceptive Conduct and Other Prohibited Conduct Chapter 6 Unconscionable Conduct Regime Chapter 7 Unfair Contract Terms Regime.
