Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC AustraliaThe Government’s focus on strengthening the effectiveness of the unfair contract term regime is continuing and civil penalties will be shortly introduced. Further changes also include expanding the ‘small business’ threshold, and including a rebuttable presumption against the use of terms previously found unfair in similar circumstances.
