Unfair contracts - the new penalties: Mandatory rule 6.1 – on-demand recording
4 CPD units
| 4 CPD Unit On-demand recording |
| |
This session was recorded on 27 March 2024 as part of the Unfair contracts - the new penalties: Mandatory rule 6.1 - live webinar. This course will focus on changes to the Australian Consumer Law which came into effect November 2023, and which prohibit businesses from proposing, using, or relying on unfair contract terms in standard form contracts with consumers and small businesses. ACCC Deputy Chair Mick Keogh has noted that “There was previously little motivation for businesses to comply with the law”. With substantial penalties now available, there is a significant incentive to comply. Topics include: Good drafting and compliance with the changes to unfair contracts law – Kathleen Morris, Barrister, Level 22 Chambers On 9 November 2022 the Treasury Laws Amendment (More Competition, Better Prices) Act 2022 (Cth) came into effect, which expanded and reformed the unfair contract terms regimes applying under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) and Australian Securities and Investments Commission Act 2001 (Cth). Those amendments included the introduction of a new civil penalty regime prohibiting the use of, and reliance on, unfair contract terms by businesses, which came into operation from 9 November 2023. The amendments also broadened the definition of “small business” and clarified matters to be taken into account when assessing whether a contract is a “standard form contract”. This session considers those legislative changes and steps that can be taken to ensure compliance with the unfair contract terms regime. Ethical issues and unfair contracts – Linden Barnes, Senior Ethics Solicitor, Professional Support Unit, The Law Society of NSW In this session, Linden Barnes will examine ethical issues relating to contract law. Unfair terms - legislation and case review – Jennifer Dean, Partner, Johnson Winter Slattery In this session, Jennifer Dean will review important recent decisions and critical legislative changes.
