The Fair Trading ACT Handbook
Author: Debbie Wilson
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780947514341
Category : Consumer protection
Languages : en
Pages : 601
Book Description
The Fair Trading Act Handbook is a successor to Trotman & Wilson Fair Trading: Misleading or Deceptive Conduct, which focused specifically on the s9 prohibition on misleading or deceptive conduct and the remedies available for breach of that section. Its two editions have been widely used by practitioners and cited in the courts. With the introduction of a new purpose section and new provisions in 2013, and the anticipated increasing use of these and the other provisions, The Fair Trading Act Handbook provides a timely broadening of the respected commentary of its predecessor. It discusses all of the substantive provisions, as well as the civil and criminal remedies available following breach. It considers relevant cases on these provisions, and where information is available, discusses the Commerce Commissions use of more informal means of educating traders to enhance compliance through the use of compliance advice and warning letters.

ISBN: 9781927149423
Category : Competition, Unfair
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
Providing an indispensable comparative and in-depth resource, FAIR TRADING: MISLEADING OR DECEPTIVE CONDUCT 2nd edition, examines 26 years of section 9 case law and distils the consequent principles from the Fair Trading Act 1986. The authors explore the key elements of an action under section 9: namely that there is "conduct" "in trade" that is "misleading or deceptive". The authors then consider examples of potentially misleading or deceptive conduct: including nondisclosure of information, opinions and advice, laudatory statements, predictions and promises. The second part of the book covers procedural aspects, liability as a party or principal under the Fair Trading Act 1986, and its defences. Finally, remedies for a breach, including injunction, damages, and miscellaneous additional remedies found in section 43 are reviewed. As knowledge about and expertise in fair trading actions has become an integral and daily part of commercial law FAIR TRADING: MISLEADING ORDECEPTIVE CONDUCT 2nd edition will become the essential resource for commercial lawyers, litigators and students.

Contract Law Minimalism
Author: Jonathan Morgan
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 110747020X
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
Commercial contract law is in every sense optional given the choice between legal systems and law and arbitration. Its 'doctrines' are in fact virtually all default rules. Contract Law Minimalism advances the thesis that commercial parties prefer a minimalist law that sets out to enforce what they have decided - but does nothing else. The limited capacity of the legal process is the key to this 'minimalist' stance. This book considers evidence that such minimalism is indeed what commercial parties choose to govern their transactions. It critically engages with alternative schools of thought, that call for active regulation of contracts to promote either economic efficiency or the trust and co-operation necessary for 'relational contracting'. The book also necessarily argues against the view that private law should be understood non-instrumentally (whether through promissory morality, corrective justice, taxonomic rationality, or otherwise). It sketches a restatement of English contract law in line with the thesis.

Contract Law in New Zealand
Author: Stephen Todd
Publisher: Kluwer Law International B.V.
ISBN: 9041189319
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this practical analysis of the law of contracts in New Zealand covers every aspect of the subject – definition and classification of contracts, contractual liability, relation to the law of property, good faith, burden of proof, defects, penalty clauses, arbitration clauses, remedies in case of non-performance, damages, power of attorney, and much more. Lawyers who handle transnational contracts will appreciate the explanation of fundamental differences in terminology, application, and procedure from one legal system to another, as well as the international aspects of contract law. Throughout the book, the treatment emphasizes drafting considerations. An introduction in which contracts are defined and contrasted to torts, quasi-contracts, and property is followed by a discussion of the concepts of ‘consideration’ or ‘cause’ and other underlying principles of the formation of contract. Subsequent chapters cover the doctrines of ‘relative effect’, termination of contract, and remedies for non-performance. The second part of the book, recognizing the need to categorize an agreement as a specific contract in order to determine the rules which apply to it, describes the nature of agency, sale, lease, building contracts, and other types of contract. Facts are presented in such a way that readers who are unfamiliar with specific terms and concepts in varying contexts will fully grasp their meaning and significance. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable time-saving tool for business and legal professionals alike. Lawyers representing parties with interests in New Zealand will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative contract law.

All of the chapters have been revised and updated to take account of these and other developments. Examples where there have been recent and helpful decisions include the discussions of certainty of contract, of conditional contracts after Steele v Serepisos, of misrepresentation and the Fair Trading Act, and of undue influence in the light of Royal Bank of Scotland v Etridge.
