Consumer Protection Law in Australia provides a clear and detailed explanation of the application and effect of consumer protection and product liability law in Australia, fostering a sound understanding of the legislative landscape in force since the introduction of the single regulatory scheme. The author explains the mechanism under which the federal and state and territory laws operate and provides a ’road map’ to all aspects of the consumer regime, including regulation and public and private enforcement. Key areas such as consumer guarantees, unfair contract provisions and product liability are comprehensively discussed. The book is an invaluable guide for legal practitioners, academics and students.

The fourth edition is fully revised to include many recent developments, including:
  • ACCC v HealthEngine Pty Ltd [2020] FCA 1203; ACCC v Google LLC (No 2) [2021] FCA 367: misleading or deceptive conduct re privacy and use of consumers’ on-line personal information
  • Stubbings v Jams 2 Pty Ltd [2022] HCA 6: unconscionable conduct in equity

  • Australian Competition and Consumer Commission v Productivity Partners Pty Ltd (trading as Captain Cook College) (No 3) [2021] FCA 737: clarification of nature and extent of ancillary liability for ACL breaches
