QLD MLAANZ TWILIGHT SEMINAR: UNFAIR CONTRACT TERMS UPDATE – RESCHEDULED TO 19 JULY 2018
The Unfair Contract Terms Update twilight seminar, previously schedule for 23 May 2018, has been rescheduled to 19 July 2018 to better accommodate prospective attendees. Please mark your calendars and RSVP for the new date in accordance with the below details.
 Have you heard a lot about the recent unfair contract terms legislation but don't know how it will apply to you? Are your or your client's standard terms and conditions valid and enforceable or leaving you exposed to a hidden risk?
Consumer protection under the Australian Consumer Law was extended to strike out unfair terms in standard form contracts in 2010 and extended to also protect small businesses in 2016, but precisely how these reforms will be applied in the business world is difficult to predict. This has particular relevance to the trade and transport industry where stringent standard terms and conditions are common place.
Join us for a summary of the relevant law and update on the latest applications of this important and perplexing area of reform.
Paul Baxter will present on the topic from Hall & Wilcox's new premises at Level 18, 240 Queen St at 6pm on Thursday 19 July 2018, with light refreshments and the opportunity to catch up with fellow attendees to follow.
Please RSVP to Monique Sterrenberg or Rosemary Gibson by Thursday 5 July.
