Consumer Law provides up-to-date, comprehensive coverage of consumer law, arranged in a fresh, topic-by-topic approach. With a practical focus, specific transactions and conduct are considered, and generous use is made of worked examples. Consumer Law focuses on areas aligned with the acquisition of tangible property and services for personal, domestic or household use. Topics included range from access to justice, contracting, consumer guarantees and credit contracts, to banking, insurance, tenancies, and investor protection. Developments overseas, including Australia, the EU and the US, are also referenced. Recent legislative developments, such as the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act 2003, the Weathertight Homes Resolution Services Act 2006, the Real Estate Agents Act 2008 and the Financial Advisers Act 2008 are covered, as well as the many important judgements in relation to the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the Fair Trading Act 1986.
