• Semester 2 (External)

Synopsis

The  purpose of this course is to introduce students predominantly  to
Part  IV  of the Trade Practices Act ("the Act") which is usually  not
considered  in  undergraduate business courses.  The rationale  behind
the  legislation itself will be considered along with the  substantive
prohibitions  and  restrictions  which  impact  on  various   business
activities.  Some aspects of consumer protection will also be  covered
such  as  the provisions dealing with misleading and deceptive conduct
(Part V) and unconscionability (Part IVA).
