With its focus on the legislative prohibitions on misleading and deceptive conduct, this indispensable practitioner text provides detailed analysis and comprehensive coverage of the substantial body of case law generated in this area. The last edition was published only a month or so after the introduction of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 and the associated Australian Consumer Law in January 2011, and this fourth edition is a welcome update with over 1000 new decisions considered. Given that the bulk of the decisions to date have dealt with conduct that took place before 31 December 2010, this edition continues to refer throughout to both TPA/FTA provisions as well as the ACL.
