This unit examines the special legal protection given to consumers under the Australian Consumer Law. The unit is concerned with aspects of the liability of suppliers of goods and services to consumers, sometimes called 'post-sale' consumer protection. An assessment will be made of the effectiveness of recent legislation in this field, and there will be comparative analysis referring similar laws in other jurisdiction such as the European Community directives, related developments in the Asia-Pacific (eg Japan), and some trends in the US.
