Parties who suffer loss as a result of relying on misleading or deceptive conduct may have rights under the general law and the Australian Consumer Law.
Under general law, the legal remedies available often depend on whether a representation was made fraudulently or negligently. Under the Australian Consumer Law, those distinctions are not always relevant to the remedies available.
Remedies may also arise under both the general law and the Australian Consumer Law in cases involving unconscionable conduct or where a party has entered into an agreement based on a mistake as to the underlying facts or terms.
In many transactions, the Australian Consumer Law also implies statutory guarantees and provides remedies, even where contractual terms suggest otherwise.
Our litigation lawyers have extensive experience in matters involving misleading and unconscionable conduct, and provide clear advice on the requirements of a claim and the factors that may affect the outcome.
