A good way to study- Consumers (2 Viewers)

Ok what does the Fair Trading Act 1987 (NSW) cover?

 

[monique66]

it means that only the persons involved in a contract can enforce it, only the parties signed in the contract under it can sue/enforce the law under it. case for this : donoghue vs stevenson.. even though mrs donoghue was not party to the contract of the sale of this drink (with snail in it) she was liable because she was injured in this situation.

yeah, i remember reading that a consumer can be anyone affected by a good or service. For example if your bro/sis goes out and buys spray paint and the can explodes you can claim damages on their behalf...

Ok what does the Fair Trading Act 1987 (NSW) cover?

This protects (from the top of my head) consumers from unfair trading by producers and suppliers and is used to cover the loopholes in the Trade Practices Act as it covers areas of business within NSW and not the whole country.

Hello fellow consumerers! LOL! I'm going to join now and i really hope this question hasnt been asked yet:

What is state regulation? And what are the advantages of state regulation and disadvantages

Hello fellow consumerers! LOL! I'm going to join now and i really hope this question hasnt been asked yet:

What is state regulation? And what are the advantages of state regulation and disadvantages

State regulation exists when the state controls the behaviour of certain industies or trades. This is done through the use of legislation enforced by certain areas of the state and also bodies established by the govt for that purpose. Advantages of state regulation include the fact that the state does not have any involvement in the industry and can make unbias and fair rulings. However, if media and lobby groups exert pressure the govt may make decisions that would gain short term electoral victory.
Hope thats right
Next Question: What is self-regulation and what are its advantages and disadvantages?

 

[monique66]

10. Identify the four occasions when common law will intervene to provide a remedy in the area of contract law.

9. leave it to you guys and gals....

10. Breach of Contract (Damages) and when there is a Mistake (not really a remedy, but the court will declare there was no contract). Common Law is very limited, hence I don't know when they would otherwise intervene. THe other remedies are in Equity.

Next Question: What is self-regulation and what are its advantages and disadvantages?

Pretty much right. Another problem with regulation in contracts is the intervention in the costs. The Court traditionally don't like intervening in how much money has been decided on for a contractual deal. The reason is simply found in Justice Kirby's judgement in Woolworths v Kelly (1991) that the law does not seek to impose superintendence on ecomic liberty. Mainly because lawyers are not economists.
