Trade Practices Law
Have you ever been misled or deceived in business? The Competition and Consumer
Act 2010 (formerly called the Trade Practices Act 1974) protects the consumer and
has done so since 1974. The object of the Act is to enhance the welfare of Australians
through the promotion of competition and fair trading and the provision for consumer
protection in trade and commerce.
BBV has established a reputation for excellence in the area of trade practices law
and trade practice litigation. In 2001 the firm was involved in a landmark decision
in the High Court of Australia on the application of the misleading and deceptive
conduct provisions of the then Trade Practices Act. This had a profound impact on
the real estate industry with consequent ramifications for other professional advisors.
Trade practices law continues to play an important role in Australian trade and
commerce and is an area of growing importance in economic regulation. It plays a
vital role in ensuring that the Australian economy operates efficiently and effectively.
At BBV we are able to provide specialist advice in all areas of trade practices
law, including misleading and deceptive conduct, unconscionable conduct, manufacturer’s
liability, restricted trade practices such as misuse of market power and advice
on dealing with regulators such as the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission
(ACCC).
