Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new and timely work provides up-to-date and detailed analysis of the new Unfair Contract Terms Law (UCTL) that was introduced as part of the Australian Consumer Law reforms of 2010, and which took effect in each state and territory from 1 January 2011. The UCTL represents a radical change in consumer protection law and in contract law. In Unfair Contract Terms Law in Australia experienced author and senior lecturer Dr Jeannie Paterson explains the operation of the UCTL and considers the implications for standard boilerplate terms in consumer contracts. The work also examines the background to the reforms and utilises precedents drawn from similar regimes that have operated in Victoria and the UK. UNFAIR CONTRACT TERMS IN AUSTRALIA will be highly useful for litigation purposes and compliance work. It will appeal to competition, consumer and commercial solicitors and barristers as well as regulators involved in drafting, reviewing and enforcing standard form consumer contracts. Traders dealing with consumers will find this work invaluable as they review their contracts to ensure compliance with the legislation. UNFAIR CONTRACT TERMS IN AUSTRALIA is a vital resource for the adjustment to, and ongoing compliance with, the new law.

Book Synopsis Standard Contract Terms in Europe by : Hugh Collins
Download or read book Standard Contract Terms in Europe written by Hugh Collins and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the Directive on Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts of 1993, the European project has been working intensively towards harmonization of contract law across all EU Member States. To date, virtually none of the many problems that have arisen have been resolved. The SECOLA Annual Conference convened in Prague in 2005 to consider the specific topic of unfair terms and to imagine ways in which the obstacles raised by this provocative issue might be overcome. In this book, which presents revised versions of the papers presented at that conference, fourteen outstanding European scholars examine basic questions about the differing conceptions of contract law in the national legal systems of the Member States, divergent legal techniques such as interpretation of contract and divergent approaches to legal reasoning, and contrasting views about the nature of the problems presented by unfair terms in contracts. Among the contentious matters discussed are the following: the tension between party autonomy and social justice; control over freedom of contract in the name of substantive fairness and efficiency; interpretation of contract terms the intrusion of competition law into contract law; the disputed meanings of good faith and legitimate expectations; the requirement of 'plain intelligible language'; and characterization problems Above all the essays ask: Can harmonization of European contract law be achieved? And if so, how? The answers offered not only clarify the stage we have arrived at in this ongoing initiative, but also identify the essential conflicts that must be understood if we are to secure meaningful regulation of contract terms at a transnational level. For these reasons the book is enormously valuable to all parties interested in this crucial component of European integration.
Book Synopsis Exemption Clauses and Unfair Terms by : Elizabeth J. Macdonald
Download or read book Exemption Clauses and Unfair Terms written by Elizabeth J. Macdonald and published by Bloomsbury Professional. This book was released on 1999 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any contract is likely to have its fair share of exemption clauses and failure to read the small print is often the biggest cause for complaint between litigators. This title provides major treatment of the law relating to exemption clauses as well as encompassing the regulation of unfair terms (a concept introduced by the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1994). These regulations extend to all terms and to certain areas of business, such as insurance, not covered by the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977. The book also deals thoroughly with penalty and forfeiture clauses and is the definitive in-depth text giving exhaustive coverage of the subject.

Book Synopsis Consumer Law and Economics by : Klaus Mathis
Download or read book Consumer Law and Economics written by Klaus Mathis and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-31 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume covers the challenges currently faced by consumer law in Europe and the United States, ranging from fundamental theoretical questions, such as what goals consumer law should pursue, to practical questions raised by disclosure requirements, the General Data Protection Regulation and technology advancements. With governments around the world enacting powerful new regulations concerning consumers, consumer law has become an important topic in the economic analysis of law. Intended to protect consumers, these regulations typically seek to do so by giving them tools to make better decisions, or by limiting the consequences of their bad decisions. Legal scholars are divided, however, regarding the efficacy and effects of these regulations; some call for certain policies to be abolished, while others support a regulatory expansion.

Book Synopsis Unfair Terms in Comparative Perspective by : Jean Braucher
Download or read book Unfair Terms in Comparative Perspective written by Jean Braucher and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phenomenon of unfair terms in mass-market contracts is widely acknowledged, as is the fictional nature of “assent” or “consent” to all but a few obvious terms, such as price and key product features. Although some still argue for facilitating choice through better disclosure and education of customers, most policymakers, regulators, and scholars concede that there often can be no real assent to mass-market standard terms, but then balk at meaningful solutions to address market failure. The problem of nasty standard terms is seen as intractable. A good example of recognition of the problem of unfair terms but reluctance to provide effective remedies is the recent project of the American Law Institute - the Principles of the Law of Software Contracts. The Principles address every issue raised by the coalition of software customers concerning unfair terms and practices, but they rely too heavily on after-the-fact judicial policing using broad standards and do not call for administrative prevention or enforcement. The Principles thus are mostly symbolic, although in several places they propose meaningful commands and in others they use illustrations to target specific suspect terms. Overall, they suggest some important ways to make software contracts fairer and succeed in making the point that policing of terms is more tractable if done industry by industry, with attention to particularities, but they stop short of a workable implementation strategy. An alternative regulatory model is presented by the EU Unfair Contract Terms in Consumer Contracts Directive. The Directive has its own limitations, such as a scope limited to natural persons acting outside their trade or business. However, its greatest strength is an explicit recognition that unfair terms not only should be unenforceable, but also have to be kept out of contracts in the first place. Prevention of unfair drafting requires responsive regulation designed to curb and channel corporate culture. The United Kingdom's Office of Fair Trading (scheduled for elimination in 2014 by the Coalition Government by being merged into a new Competition and Markets Authority) has made use of such an approach in its implementation of the Directive in UK law. The quest for effective implementation of constraints on unfairness should continue. From a comparative perspective, the US and Europe each have something to learn from the other, and an amalgam of their approaches to unfair terms may provide better oversight than what either has devised so far.
Book Synopsis Unfair Contract Terms in European Law by : Paolisa Nebbia
Download or read book Unfair Contract Terms in European Law written by Paolisa Nebbia and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2007-02-08 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book examines Directive 93/13 on Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts and its implementation with a twofold aim: first, to understand the extent to which the Directive has influenced and will influence fundamental notions and principles of contract law in the domestic legal systems of the Member States; second, it examines the extent to which the domestic legal traditions of the Member States have influenced the process of drafting of the Directive and, more importantly, will affect the way that the Directive is interpreted and applied in national courts. The focus is mainly on English law (including the 2005 Unfair Terms in Contracts Bill) and on Italian law, but frequent references are made to the French and the German systems. At the same time, the book has a broader, more 'European' concern, in that it aims to distill from the existing Community acquis and from the history and rationale of Directive 93/13 notions and concepts that could guide its interpretation. It is well known that Community law uses terminology which is peculiar to it, and that legal concepts do not necessarily have the same meaning in EC law and in the law of the various Member States: every provision of Community law must be placed in its context and interpreted in the light of its own objectives and rationale, and of the objectives and rationale of Community law as a whole. In this respect, this book aims to identify the contours and features of the emerging European legal tradition, and to assess the impact that this may have on the domestic traditions.
