One of the key focus areas for the ACCC this year is to ensure that businesses comply with the Australian Consumer Law. As part of this focus, the ACCC recently reviewed key industries for compliance with the unfair contract terms that apply to standard form contracts. During these reviews, the ACCC identified significant non-compliance by businesses under both unfair contract term laws and broader consumer protection laws, such as the consumer guarantees.
