Publication Date: 13 March 2019

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.

The book is a must have for all practitioners of commercial law including construction law, property law and all forms of contractual disputes.
