THE AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW
NEW
CONSTITUTIONAL LAW
GLOBAL ISSUES IN CONSTITUTIONAL LAW
Stephen Corones
Reform of Australia’s inconsistent
Commonwealth, State and Territory consumer
laws is now a reality. The 1 January 2011
commencement of the Australian Consumer
Law (ACL), within the Competition and Consumer
Act 2010, is the culmination of a long process
of consultation. Unifying and rationalising
the plethora of laws, this new Act sees the
disappearance of the Trade Practices Act and
the amendment of a raft of State and Territory
legislation; the new national regime informed
by them operates in their stead.
Stephen Corones’ timely new work assists
practitioners, academics and students
understand the Australian Consumer Law
regime and its impact. The book:
• Summarises the history and constitutional
basis of the ACL
• Explains how the ACL will be implemented,
amended and enforced
• Explores how the various general and specific
protections interrelate, and the scope of their
overlap, and
• Considers the content of the ACL, and the
principal changes from the provisions of the
Trade Practices Act.
