An incisive analysis of key statutory provisions and case law. The Law of Misleading or Deceptive Conduct primarily refers to the provisions of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) (CCA), including the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), as well as the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Act 2001 (Cth), the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the Fair Trading Act 1986 (NZ). Notably, s 137H of the CCA was amended to extend the statutory presumption as to facts found to facts admitted in prior proceedings. - Publisher's website.
