Competition, Consumer & Trade Practices Disputes
Protecting Consumer Rights and Business Integrity
The Australian Consumer Law and each Australian State’s Fair Trading Act are the foundation of Australian advertising and marketing law, and are essential to commercial dealings and transactions in Australia.
Commercial disputes concerning restrictive trade practices, unconscionable conduct, and misleading and deceptive conduct frequently arise in the course of business and can be extremely damaging to individuals and businesses alike.
Whether you have been accused of a breach or believe you have suffered harm as a result of another party’s breach, contact Dormer Stanhope and we will help you gain an understanding of your options for defending yourself or pursuing a claim.
Businesses should therefore be aware of their rights when dealing with other businesses, consumers and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and must therefore ensure that their practices do not contravene the statutory requirements.
